About

Ipswich High School is a vibrant day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 3-18, set in an idyllic 87-acre campus in Woolverstone on the banks of the River Orwell. With approximately 500 pupils, we are a small school with amazing facilities.

We have small classes of hard-working pupils and inspirational teachers who help to instil a love of learning, the results of which are exceptional academic outcomes year on year. At Ipswich High School, we understand that the world today requires young people to be so much more than simply good at passing exams.

Our vision is to prepare our pupils to thrive in the 21st Century by providing them with the educational foundations to flourish. To have discovered and become the best versions of themselves and to play an empowering part in our local and wider communities. With who they are now and feel equipped for the world they are entering.

Having achieved outcomes which would have been impossible in any other school. To have gone beyond what they previously thought was possible.
