Inside Ibstock Headmaster‘s Welcome

Summer 2024

On the one hand, it’s when our academic programmes often reach their crescendo, most obviously with the taking of both public and internal examinations. On the other, though, it’s also when the School can explore most fully its commitment to a genuinely holistic view of education - one which opens its pupils’ minds to skills and knowledge which can only be acquired from outside of the classroom. So it is with Summer Term 2024, the details of which are held within this latest edition of Inside Ibstock. In the pages ahead, you will read of the very many special events which have punctuated the term, and of the impressive range of achievements which our pupils have registered through the course of them. From the sporting field to the stage, as well as all points in-between, it has been a termwhich will live long in the memory. I hope that you enjoy reading all about it. Welcome to ‘Inside Ibstock’ Ibstock is a “restless” school, bounding with energy. Never is this more apparent than it is during the Summer Term. The summer months offer a uniquely broad range of experience for our young people.

Last Day Before Study Leave

Our Senior 11 pupils enjoyed their last day before study leave with the all-important shirt signing ceremony followed by Ibstock doughnuts. Mr. Wolsey was on hand to distribute the doughnuts and personally wish each pupil best of luck. Our Upper Sixth Formers went out in style with fancy dress costumes, a staff vs pupils’ tug-of-war, a massive water fight on the field and to top it all off, a delicious barbecue. A wonderful occasion, it was a chance to celebrate all their hard work, friendships and reflect on their school journey.
