Welcome to Ivanhoe School

An 11 - 16 School in Ashby de la Zouch

Welcome to Ivanhoe School and thank you for your interest in our school.

At Ivanhoe School, our vision is to empower individuals on their educational journeys, fostering their development into happy, successful, informed, and resilient young adults. We strive to prepare them to make meaningful contributions to the world around them.

Our students are at the heart of everything we do, and we work collaboratively to build upon the culture and achievements that have been established as our school continues to grow from strength to strength. This commitment to excellence was highlighted in our recent Ofsted inspection, where we achieved a 'Good' rating across all areas. According to the Ofsted Report 2025:

"The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils strive to meet these expectations. They behave well in lessons and work hard. Pupils learn well across the curriculum, gaining knowledge and producing work of good quality."

We are dedicated to the holistic education and development of every student, confident that the enrichment experiences we provide alongside our formal curriculum will enable all of our students to reach their full potential. Our school culture is built on care and relational values, and we establish clear expectations for our students in alignment with the Ivanhoe Way. This approach emphasises consistent attendance, a positive attitude, and a commitment to achievement.

Our core beliefs include:
•    The relentless pursuit of excellence to achieve life-changing outcomes for all students.
•    The education of the whole person, encouraging all students to learn beyond the classroom.
•    Fostering ambitious life-long learners who develop a curiosity for and enjoyment of learning through our personalised curriculum experience.
•    Engaging our students in critical thinking as they navigate the complex media landscape that characterises our current society.
