Welcome to Ibstock School

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.

Dear Parents and OUR Community,

There is a peaceful parental public assembly taking place at Ibstock School today. We had prior notification this would be taking place and the motivation behind it.

This assembly will not be impacting on the school day.

If any parents or carers of students or indeed the wider community of Ibstock have any concerns, please contact the school directly.

Our Year 7s have been out today learning all about the history and important infrastructure in Ibstock High Street.

Students will be thinking about how their community shapes who they are. We are looking forward to seeing what work they produce for their missions` event.
