A Global Future

Founded in 1894, Ibstock Place School has a distinguished heritage of educational excellence and innovation. For over 130 years, the School has combined strong academic standards with exceptional pastoral care, preparing young people for their futures with kind hearts, curious minds, and courageous futures.

As we look ahead, Ibstock seeks to share its educational vision internationally through carefully considered partnership. Our strengths in Oracy, Digital Innovation, and Wellbeing, guided by our Compass Learning Philosophy, position our School as a distinctive partner for global growth.

We now seek a long-term international partner to support the establishment and operation of overseas schools. Our ambition is to bring together the local insight and investment capability of our partner with the educational leadership and quality assurance of Ibstock Place School in the UK.

Our proposed international partnership model takes a dynamic and collaborative approach, delivering a world‑class education for families and creating sustainable value for all stakeholders.

We hope this page conveys the character and ambition of Ibstock Place School, and look forward to the opportunity to explore future collaboration.

'Alongside forging positive relationships with his charges, he puts great emphasis on their oracy: the public-speaking team recently triumphed in a competition at Cambridge University; and through membership of the The Noisy Classroom organisation, the debaters can argue the toss with children from around the world.'

'The new Esports arena is match-fit for gamers; the school team has exploded onto the Esports Rocket League, already winning silverware; and did we mention that there’s an incoming head of AI?
