Partnership & Community brochure

For nearly eighty years, Ibstock has been a part of Roehampton and now, more than ever, the School is embracing the potential which it has to be a force for good, not just for its immediate families, but for all those who live in our part of SouthWest London. The best schools are those rooted firmly in community – not just their own immediate community of pupils, staff and parents – but also the wider community in which they reside.

As this report amply demonstrates, our pupils and their teachers, as well as our parents, are making a valuable contribution to the work of many local schools, charities and other community organisations. We are proud of all which they achieve. It is integral to our status as a charity and, going forward, it is something on which we seek to build yet further. Regrettably, there is a degree of scepticism, nationally, about the positive impact which independent schools can have on society-at-large. Whatever the future holds, Ibstock is determined to prove that these misgivings are profoundly wrong. Our partnership projects define us, and we shall do all we can to sustain and enlarge them in the years to come.

Headmaster, Chris Wolsey
