Ibstock Community College is a school in the miner's village of Ibstock in Leicestershire, England. Highly successful academically, the school is ranked amongst the top 5% of British Academic High Schools for test results from 2003 to the current day.
[edit] History
The school was built ready for the first 398 pupils to enter the building on September 1st 1925, Mr J.V.Measures was the newly appointed first Headmaster. There was a staff of eight certificated and two uncertificated assistant teachers together with one student teacher. The log book records: "The building is still in the hands of bricklayers, carpenters and painters, but the classrooms are finished and where there is furniture work may be commenced."
Ibstock Community College is based on the original teaching block, opened in 1925 by then-Principal J.V. Measures. It has since expanded to include recently-redeveloped separate Science and Modern Foreign Languages & Mathematics blocks.
The school has grown rapidly in recent years, with the Mobile Classrooms all replaced during 2005 and 2006. New Science and Languages & Mathematics blocks were opened in 2002 and 2004 respectively, and both are furnished with modern technology.
[edit] Organisation
The current management teams consists of Mr. Bill Kelly (Principal, Physical Education), Mrs. Rachel Gravesen (Vice-Principal, Humanities), Dr. Jevon Hurst (Assistant-Principle, Science) and Mrs. Dianne Enion (Assistant-Principle). The school is also assisted by Mrs. Lynn Slipper as an Extended Schools Manager. The school has approximately 40 teaching staff, in addition to a dozen classroom assistants and over thirty various other staff.
The school takes part in many competitions, including regional sports championships every academic year, especially for Football and Rugby which the school has prided itself in for many years.
