Ipswich Preparatory School is a happy school where we create extraordinary futures. Children grow in confidence, develop a love of learning and experience a plethora of opportunities.
Children develop knowledge, skills, behaviours and character as they progress through the school, benefiting from excellent resources, a broad curriculum and highly supportive teaching. Our Prep School is divided into three sections: Early Years (ages 4 & 5), Lower Prep (ages 5–7), and Upper Prep (ages 7–11).
Children at Ipswich Prep are happy because they genuinely enjoy their lessons. They have access to a dynamic and engaging programme of lessons and activities, all delivered by staff who truly care about them and understand their individual needs. Our ethos revolves around the core values of care, passion, potential and communication, creating a sense of excitement and joy that you will immediately feel when you visit.
Our curriculum is intentionally broad and delivered by specialist teachers. Prep children follow a dedicated STEAM Programme, learn languages including French, German, Spanish and Latin and take part in a wide range of lessons dedicated to Sports, Music and the Arts. Children find their passion and are taken to the limits of their potential. As they journey through the rigorous core academic curriculum and extensive co-curricular programmes, Prep children become increasingly self aware and discover their own gifts and talents.
At Ipswich Prep we have incredible facilities including dedicated Art, Music, Computing and Science Suites. Our facilities for sport are exceptional with Prep children having access to an indoor swimming pool, cricket nets, Etons fives courts, astroturf hockey pitches and netball courts. Ipswich School Sports Centre at nearby Rushmere is the centrepiece of our sporting facilities and a familiar venue for many of our sporting fixtures.
The extensive co-curricular programme at Ipswich Prep provides every child the opportunity to explore a wide range of interests beyond the classroom. With so many clubs to choose from including robotics, 'fun with food', maths master class, judo, skiing, drama, dance, LAMDA and so many more, there is something to excite every child at Ipswich Prep.
