Stay connected with what’s happening in our school by following us on Instagram for the latest updates!
Due to significant overnight snowfall and hazardous road conditions, we have made the difficult decision to close Ibstock School today, 09/01/2026, for the safety of students and staff. Road conditions this morning around Ibstock School are hazardous and it will not be possible to make the site safe for students and staff. We have also been informed that the buses are unable to confirm whether routes will run.
In the meantime, our site team will be working hard to ensure the school is operational for Monday.
Communication: Please check our website, social media (X, Facebook and Instagram), and local radio (BBC Radio Leicester and Capital FM) for updates.
Learning: Students can access learning and maintain a routine through online resources like Sparx and Seneca learning.
We appreciate your understanding.
As part of our ongoing commitment to support professional development and encourage collaboration across LiFE MAT, Ibstock School will be finishing early on Tuesday 13 January 2026 at 2pm.
Please note, bus travel arrangements have been made for the earlier pick up time.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
