A joyful, nurturing culture

Each child's individual wellbeing is central to all that we do.

We are listening school, nurturing happiness through a proactive pastoral care system that is threaded throughout school life. At Ibstock we promote kindness and respect for one another. We encourage and support pupils to be their most authentic self.

Ambition to Achieve

Ibstock inspires curious thinkers who share a thirst for knowledge.

We deliver a future full of promise, unlocking each child’s potential, and providing an education that nurtures academic rigour, intelligence, and inquiry. Our teaching staff are passionate about creating a stimulating and supportive learning environment. At each stage of their learning, pupils are supported, challenged, and prepared to navigate confidently our modern and globalised world.

Rooted in Kindness

United by kindness, pupils at Ibstock develop a grounded appreciation for the wider world and recognise the unique opportunities available to them.

They learn about themselves and the world together, whether supporting local charities running our African, Caribbean, and Asian heritage and their Allies Society (ACAAS), or publishing ‘The Wall,’ our award-winning student magazine. Our entire school is rooted within the local community with pupils regularly taking part in outreach activities.

Our school values

At the heart of our educational philosophy are five core values, which guide every aspect of our school community. These serve as the bedrock of our culture, shaping the attitudes, behaviours, and aspirations of our pupils, staff, and parents alike.

An Inspiring Place to Flourish

With an urban location and a beautiful botanical feel, Ibstock is the perfect home for scholarly exploration and adventure.

Our eight-acre setting is an open, harmonious environment enjoyed by pupils from Kindergarten to Sixth Form. The diverse campus comprises both beautifully landscaped gardens and wilder woodland areas. On our doorstep the open spaces of Richmond Park are used for a whole variety of school activities and trips.

Feet on the ground, eyes on the future

An Ibstock pupil is poised to seize life’s opportunities and emblazon their own positive mark on the world.

We instil a dynamic mindset, which allows them to remain flexible and responsive in an ever changing world. Our students retain a deep connection to the school long after they depart, further inspiring the next generation. A supportive alumni community of Old Ibstonians welcomes former students and our networking platform known as ‘The Stocks’ facilitates opportunities to rekindle memories and forge connections.
