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. However, pupils also achieve exceptional things in Music, Drama, Art and Sport.

An Ipswich School education involves the creation of experiences, memories and friendships that are 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.
