For over 130 years, we’ve been a school at the vanguard of educational change. 

From our foundation, we’re been energetic and forward-looking, always ready to re-imagine a version of education which is both holistic in its scope and rigorous in its execution. Our pioneering spirit endures, and so too a commitment to sustaining a community which enriches the lives of all of its members, be they pupils, parents or members of staff. 

At our core, we understand that schools should be places of joy.  Childhood is precious, and our young people flourish because they learn in an environment which is at once challenging and supportive, ambitious and yet kind. Our vision is one of a listening and inclusive school, one which values the voice of all of its members. We encourage everyone to use it, and to use it well; collectively, it’s those voices which make us ever better.  

Ours is an outward-facing school. We try to do good, both in Roehampton and beyond. We want our young people to go into the world with a strong desire to give back. We take pride in all which they achieve and in this, as in all, we find joy.

I hope very much that you’ll come to visit us and to learn more about what makes Ibstock so special. You’ll be enormously welcome.
