Pastoral Care
Central to our exceptional pastoral care are our four Houses and their vertical tutor groups, which allow pupils of different ages to support each other. An in-school counselling service offers valuable support to our experienced and sensitive pastoral staff, while a thriving pupil mentoring scheme also contributes to the outstanding provision which we make for our pupils’ wellbeing.

Head Teacher’s Philosophy
No young person should grow up in a bubble. Above all, an IPS education is all about making connections; intellectual ones most certainly, but social and cultural ones as well. We seek an open and diverse community, one in which everyone can grow and feel heard.
