Westwood, Ipswich School’s Year 9 – 12 boarding house, is a Victorian mansion set in wooded grounds, just a 5 minute walk from the main school site. The majority of our boarding students come from overseas but we an increasing number of UK weekly boarding students. All boarders benefit from a friendly, home-from-home experience combined with the best of British schooling.

This is a modern, newly refurbished house for Sixth Form students with ensuite facilities, providing an experience similar to a university hall of residence.
