Values and vision

Ipswich Senior School aims to provide an environment where pupils feel safe and brave in all that they do; to present pupils with a wealth of opportunities, both inside and outside the classroom, and to help them to find their own passions; to monitor its provision: pastoral, curricular and co-curricular, learning from the best that it does, to ensure that the only limit on pupils' development is their own potential. 

The school also aims to look for new ways to achieve the high standards that it aspires to, working in a smarter way by using a 'less is more' approach, and managing the demands on our pupils and staff; to strengthen the links in the 'triangle' joining parents, pupils and school, to ensure we communicate well and are all working together with a common purpose; to encourage our pupils to consider moral and spiritual values, to understand their place in the world and to develop a spirit of service within the community.
