💙 Supporting a Loved One Who Self-Harms: Parent & Carer Workshop 💙
Is someone you care about self-harming — or are you worried that they might be? Not sure what to say or do?
Join us at Ibstock School for a supportive, informative session where you`ll gain a better understanding of what may be happening and practical ways you can support your loved one when they need you most.
📅 Thursday 29th October
🕕 6:30pm – 8:30pm
📍 Ibstock School
LiFE MAT Valencia 2026
41 students from Ibstock School, Ivanhoe School & Bosworth Academy swapped the classroom for Valencia this year — and what a trip! ✨
🗣️ Practising Spanish IRL (shopping, ordering food, exploring!) ⛪ Exploring the stunning 500-year-old Valencia Cathedral 🔬 Mind-blown at the City of Arts & Sciences, Oceanogràfic & 360° Hemisfèric Cinema 🐬 Learning about ocean conservation & cetacean research 🥘 Cooking authentic paella with locally-sourced ingredients
More than a holiday — a masterclass in confidence, independence and real-world communication. Our students did themselves (and all three schools!) proud. 🙌

A group of our students have visited Ibstock Post Office to hand over OUR Save Ibstock Post Office petition.
Thank you to all the staff, parents, students and school visitors who have signed. Students gathered over 360 signatures.
Students also posted letters to Amanda Hack MP, sharing why they thought the Post Office was so important and asking for her to support our campaign.
You can still sign our petition by scanning the QR code.

We are excited to launch the new OUR Student Council, giving students meaningful opportunities to shape school life while developing valuable leadership skills.
Built around our values of Opportunity, Understanding and Responsibility, every CREW will elect two representatives to represent their peers. These representatives will gather student views, lead projects and help drive positive change across the school. They will also have the opportunity to join specialist committees focusing on learning, opportunities, community connections, the environment, events and social action.
Alongside our Ambassador Network, the council will help ensure that a wide range of student voices are heard, represented and acted upon. Through this work, students will develop important skills such as communication, teamwork, leadership and problem-solving while making a real difference to our school community.
