A huge thank you to all families and children for attending our Step Into Year 7 2027 event. It was a pleasure to welcome familiar faces from the IHS community and meet many new families considering their next educational journey with us. Among the activities on offer, pupils enjoyed creating the famous Elephant's Toothpaste experiment in our Chemistry Lab, producing an impressive eruption of foam while exploring chemical reactions and experiencing hands-on learning. We hope you enjoyed the morning as much as we did, and we look forward to seeing you again soon. #StepIntoYear7 #IHSCommunity #STEMEducation #ChemistryInAction #FutureScientists

IHS Year 6 pupil, Rasmus, recently took part in the Year 7 and Year 8 Junior Mathematical Challenge and has been awarded a Gold Certificate! This is a remarkable accomplishment, particularly as he completed the paper a year early. Gold Certificates are typically awarded to the top 8% of participants nationally. Well done Rasmus; we are all very proud of you.

It has been such a pleasure to have hosted pupils and staff from The International School of Jakarta for the last week. I am so grateful to the IHS buddies who made them feel so welcome and to Mrs Eileen Fisher, the Director of ISJ for arranging this visit as part of our ongoing school to school partnership. The ISJ pupils were a credit to their school and we feel are proud to say that they are now part of our IHS family.  Mr Dan Browning, Head

#TBT to how it all began under the Headship of Miss Youngman in 1878. By the time Sophie Youngman retired in 1899, the school had become a thriving and respected institution, shaping bright and pioneering young women. In 2019, a blue plaque was unveiled in her honour at the site of the Assembly Rooms.
