School Information

Our philosophy is to create an inspirational environment where our girls can flourish as individuals. Ipswich High School was founded in 1878 as part of the Girls' Day School Trust. Early pupils were among the first women to obtain university degrees and enter professional work. Today, although we have changed immeasurably, the pioneering spirit and commitment to education for young women remains.
