Ipswich High School has been a fantastic choice for our family and its been a pleasure to join such a welcoming community. Having moved our children from another independent school, we were naturally a little anxious about the transition and them leaving behind friends. However, our sons have settled in beautifully and are thriving. They love the enrichment programme, the engaging lessons, the excellent food and supportive staff. We're delighted with how happy and confident...

Both of my children are thriving at this school. The teachers truly care for the pupils, both academically and pastorally, and take the time to know them as individuals. There are so many opportunities available, from the extensive enrichment programme to leadership roles, which have really helped my children grow in confidence and develop their talents. We are so pleased to be part of this community.
As parents, we could not be more happy with the school. Our daughter loves everything about it; her lessons, enrichment clubs, friends, the relationship with her teachers, the facilities and grounds and the community. She also boards every now and again and would love to board even more! We could not recommend the school highly enough.
What a lovely school and community. Our children love their school. Staff are caring and focused on doing their very best for the children. They get lots of opportunities to try new things through the enrichment programme and the food is great!
My children are so happy here. It is a very friendly, welcoming school where they are nurtured and therefore love learning. The support they receive is brilliant. The choice of enrichment’s is so varied that they can choose and excel in such a variety of activities/sports. I wouldn’t send them anywhere else!
Ipswich High is a friendly, family school in which pupils are happy as part of a welcoming community. My children have gone through the school and one left with amazing alevel results the other is still enjoying it there. They have enjoyed the sports and academic offer and woolverstone hall has amazing facilities.
the families who attend are very nice the school is run as a business, they will not split classes until they are above 23 students so small classes are not a thing here. they are not very academic, the sports and music are average at best. the funding put back into the school is minimal with areas in need of refurbishment. the look of the building is good but in reality the students are taught...
Ihs had the highest a-level results in Suffolk (that's what the head said anyway), it is an amazing school with lots of opportunities, and it's smaller classes helps all kinds of learners receive great results. It may not be the biggest school but it's one of the best, my sister (a slight idiot) managed like a 6 or something in maths (we thought she was gonna fail). lots of open space and is great. send...
