We are delighted to announce the appointment of Simon Blake as our new Director of Marketing. Simon joins us from King’s Ely, where he led the marketing department for 10 years. Not only did he attend King’s Ely as a student, but he later became a parent there as well, giving him a unique perspective on independent school marketing.

Expressing his enthusiasm, Simon shared: “After 18 months working outside the sector, I’m excited to start promoting such an outstanding school and to return to an environment where I truly belong and love.”

This marks Nick Gregory’s (Head) first appointment since joining the school in September. Nick is eager to collaborate with Simon, stating: “I am delighted to have been able to attract someone with Simon’s significant experience and knowledge in the independent schools’ sector into what is a new and very important role here at Ipswich School. I am really excited to see what he might bring to all that we do.”

Welcome, Simon, to our community at this very exciting time for the school!
