Ipswich School
Ipswich School is a school in Ipswich, Suffolk, England which was founded in 1528 by Sir Thomas Wolsey after the dissolution as a model school based on the principals of the new Church of England . There had been older educational institutions in the town (including St. Mary's College) which were absorbed into this new college. The school continues to flourish under an independent, fee charging basis, and does well in league tables and with university entrances, sending many pupils to Oxford and Cambridge.
Located North of the town centre, the school's main building is a distinctive example of Victorian architecture, with Tudor style imitation brick. It has annexes, including a preparatory school, boarding house and rugby pitch within close proximity.
Author H. Rider Haggard is a famous 'Old Ipswichian'.
