At Ipswich Prep, we believe in the power of creativity to inspire, enrich, and transform young minds. We are passionate about providing every child with the opportunity to explore and develop their artistic talents across music, art, and drama.

The co-curriculum is central to the Prep and adds breadth and variety to children’s time at school. More than anything it ensures that school is always fun and full of adventure.

Our Prep Admissions Officer, Jo Garrard can arrange a tour of the Prep School and a meeting with the Prep Head, Claire Jackson. She can guide you through the admissions process and also explain our entry requirements.

At Ipswich Prep School we place key importance on the pastoral care of our pupils, staff and parents. Care is one of our four core values at

The Early Years and Lower Prep is for children aged 5- 7 years. Children are taught by their form teacher and emphasis is placed on the acquisition of numeracy and literacy, as well as having fun!

The Upper Prep is for children aged 7 – 11 years. Children in Years 3 and 4 are taught by their form teacher for most lessons. From Year 5 children increasingly move from room to room and are taught by specialist teachers for subjects such as music and science.
