Welcome to Ibstock School

Some of our staff members are raising funds and awareness this Movember, and they need your help! Please donate whatever you are able, to help support men`s health.
Thank you!

This morning students were visited by Anji Forsyth, Clerk of Ibstock Parish Council. Students shared some of their ideas of what they would like to see in the local area. Our students were really enthusiastic and shared some really great ideas about what facilities they would like to see, as well as what other people in the community would like. From sports areas to disability friendly play equipment, dog parks to places where they can just sit and chat, students came up with some fantastic ideas.

Here’s a snapshot of the fantastic progress our students have made this year on Sparx Maths, Sparx Science and Sparx Reader. Hours well spent and learning well earned! 👏📈

Riding High: Leicester Legend Mo Walker Inspires Year 8 Boys
We were thrilled to welcome former Leicester Riders star, Mo Walker, to the school this week for an inspirational session with our Year 8 male cohort. As part of the ongoing Mo-mentum initiative, supported by the WBR Group, Mo shared his personal journey from the courts of college basketball to achieving professional success in the UK and Europe.
The assembly, held in the Main Hall, went far beyond sports. Mo used his experience as an athlete to engage the students in a vital conversation about three core life skills:
Positive Masculinity: Challenging the students to define strength not just by size, but by character, respect, and emotional intelligence.
Mental Health: Discussing the importance of building a "winning mindset," managing pressure, and openly seeking support.
Resilience: Sharing real-life examples of how he bounced back from injuries and losses, emphasising that determination is the key to realising one’s full potential.
Mo`s message offered a powerful, relatable example of how hard work, good choices, and integrity lead to success, both on and off the court. We extend our sincere thanks to Mo Walker and the WBR Group for providing this valuable opportunity to inspire the next generation of leaders in our community.
