At Ipswich School we inspire our pupils to explore their passions and create their own extraordinary futures.
Our consistently excellent academic reputation, with a broad and challenging curriculum, made us Suffolk’s top independent school in the Sunday Times Schools Guide for the last eight years.
We pride ourselves on dynamic and interactive lessons, with small class sizes. We have a strong pastoral system to support our pupils and our wellbeing provision has been shortlisted for two national awards this year. Most importantly, life at Ipswich School is busy and full, with all students taking part in a wide range of co-curricular activities outside the classroom.
We run an extensive bus service from across Colchester, North Essex and Suffolk to help
our families with the journeys to and from school. For those from further afield, we offer full or weekly boarding in our two boarding houses.
At the core of our education is a desire to inspire our pupils so that they leave us with a body of knowledge, a portfolio of skills and a strong sense of self-worth and self-knowledge. We want them to develop skills in collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking.
It is really important to us that – by the time that they leave Ipswich School – our pupils should have fulfilled their potential in a range of areas and should have discovered a number of passions.
As one of the very top independent schools in East Anglia, we take immense pride in our academic excellence – our recent exam results (84% at A*-B at A Level in 2024, for example) are outstanding. However, at the same time, pupils also achieve exceptional things in Music, Drama, Art and Sport.
It is also very important to me personally that an Ipswich School education should involve the creation of experiences, memories and friendships, all of which ought to be both life-enhancing in the here-and-now whilst also going on to last and endure for a lifetime.
Whether you are already part of our Ipswich School family or exploring the world of independent education for the first time, we would very much like to invite you to come to see us and experience first-hand the dynamism, energy, variety and warmth of our school community.
