Ipswich School

Co-educational boarding and day in Ipswich, Suffolk

 Ipswich School offers a great mix of classroom success and co-curricular opportunities. Pupils achieve excellent exam results, and go on to top universities. In 2024, 42% of GCSEs were graded 9-8 and 67% at grades 9-7, while at A Level, 84% of exams were graded A*-B and 97% were graded A*-C. This year's Sunday Times Schools Guide ranked us as the top Independent School across Suffolk and Norfolk.


We have a strong pastoral system, with tutors who know their pupils well, and specialist support throughout the school. Our co-curricular activities mean pupils develop a wide range of skills outside the classroom – achieving all-round success in music, drama, art and sport. At the core of our education is a desire to inspire our pupils so that they leave us with a body of knowledge, a portfolio of skills and a strong sense of self-worth and self-knowledge. We want them to develop skills in collaboration, communication,
creativity and critical thinking. Boarders will be based in one of three Boarding houses: Westwood Boys' is a Victorian mansion set in wooded grounds, Anglesea Heights Girls' and Anglesea Heights Sixth Form are both modern houses. All three are close to the town centre and house approximately 40 students in each.


Ipswich School is located near the heritage Suffolk coast and beautiful countryside
