Ipswich School

Ipswich School is an independent school for children aged 3 to 18, situated in Suffolk, England in the town of Ipswich. It may also be termed in the UK a 'public school' and is a registered charity.

Located north of the town centre, Ipswich School has four parts on three adjacent sites. The Pre-Prep and Nursery were established in 1883 with the aim of preparing children aged 7 to 11 for entry into the Senior School. The Senior School occupies the main school site. The main buildings are a distinctive example of Victorian architecture, with Tudor style brick. The main building and chapel are both Grade II listed. The school buildings surround a central playing field and cricket square along with the Cricket Pavilion. The remainder of the School's sport's fields are located at a nearby site on the edge of the town.

Within the Senior School the students are divided into three: the Lower School (Years 7 and 8), the Middle School (Years 9-11) and the Sixth Form (Years 12 and 13).

The School operates on an independent, fee-charging basis, with a few scholarships and means-tested bursaries. It selects pupils by the use of entrance exams. Pupils generally do well in examination league tables (though the statistics are not directly comparable to state schools or are not published, such as value added) and with university entrances, and the school typically sends between 6 and 12 students (to whom it may have given special exam coaching) to Oxford and Cambridge every year. The School was designated as having a "Church of England" Religious Character. The school has, however, not chosen to register as having a Religious Charter under the 2009 order.
