We are so proud of Max this week, who has been helping us create content to show other children how we learn to read and write in our Early Learning Years. He was such a superstar that he was awarded the Head of Prep Dojo Award and even chose a very special, super shiny sticker for himself! ⭐️

Beautiful sunrise on the River Orwell today. We're so lucky to be surrounded by beautiful, picturesque views here at Ipswich High School. One of our estates team snapped the second picture on our River Lawn just outside the Woolverstone Hall Building - stunning! ☀️
