in kindness

United by kindness, pupils at Ibstock develop a grounded appreciation for the wider world and recognise the unique opportunities available to them. Our global outlook ensures that we inspire an energetic passion within our pupils to make the world a better place. Pupils 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 ‘TheWall,’ our award-winning student magazine. Our entire school is rooted within the local community, with deep links to partner organisations. Pupils regularly take part in activities beyond our school walls and we offer our facilities to support a number of educational causes and partner state schools. Recent community initiatives have included contributing to a local street art exhibition, building a community garden on the Alton Estate and producing and hosting a street band performance. We are proud to have an enduring partnership with Rackets Cubed, a charity that delivers integrated STEM education, racket sports and nutrition programmes. As well as being a host site for these sessions, Ibstock holds regular donation drives to provide essential items, delivered by the charity to those who need it most. Our partnership with Spencer Lynx Hockey Club involves our Sixth Form volunteers running a hockey club for local primary school children. The club aims to improve pupil confidence and fitness and forms part of our extensive partnerships programme, deepening existing relationships with local community groups.
