The Class of 2025 will be pursuing an exciting range of courses at leading universities across the UK and overseas.
Polly, our former Head of School, will be studying Music at Manchester University after achieving three A* grades in English Literature, Music and Psychology. Before starting her course, Polly plans to take a gap year to gain valuable work experience in the events and hospitality industry, and to travel around Australia and Asia. Her mother, Mrs Wright, said: “Hard work pays off. A big thank you to all the teachers for being so supportive, especially Mr Walker and Mr Castle. Ibstock has been an amazing school for both of our daughters.”
Finley is set to study Computing at Imperial College London after achieving an incredible four A* grades in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Computing. His father, Mr Naughton, shared: “We are fantastically proud of Finley. He’s been at Ibstock since he was 3 years old and has had a wonderful time here.”
Emily, our former Poet Laureate, will study English Literature at Durham University in 2026. She plans to spend the coming year travelling and doing voluntary work in Kenya and Costa Rica. She expressed her gratitude to the English and Drama Departments for their exceptional support during her time at Ibstock.
Conor achieved four A* grades in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Computer Science and will study Mathematics at Oxford this October. His brother Eoin, also an Ibstock alumnus, is currently studying Geography at Oxford. Their mother, Ms McGrath, said: “I am extremely proud of Conor. Both my sons were at Ibstock since they were 4 years old. The school has really nurtured their talents, and we are thrilled by how well they’ve done.”
Isabel will study History at UCL after achieving three A* grades and one A grade. Delighted to have secured her first-choice university, she is looking forward to celebrating her outstanding results.
“Ibstock has given me the tools and resources to flourish. I really felt at home here.” –
Brooks, A-Level pupil
Brooks achieved two A* grades and one A grade in Drama, History and English, and will be studying Musical Theatre at NYU. Reflecting on his time at Ibstock, he said: “Ibstock has given me the tools and resources to flourish. I really felt at home here, especially in the Drama Department.” His mother, Mrs Finkel, added: “The school has been a great nurturing environment, fostering Brooks’ enthusiasm and talent for the arts and music.”
Oliver, former Head of School, earned four A* grades in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Computer Science and will study Design Engineering at Imperial College London — his “dream course.” He thanked Mr Smith and Mr Roberts for their support, and his father, Mr Visram, described his results as “amazing” and “it doesn’t get better than this.”
Rupert will be heading to Bristol University to study Mathematics and Computer Science after achieving three A* grades and one A grade in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Computer Science. He is grateful to Mr Kerr and Mr Smith for their support during his time at Ibstock.
Headmaster Chris Wolsey congratulated our pupils on their achievements, saying:
"I congratulate our Upper Sixth Form Leavers on such a fine set of A-Level grades. Grades like these are only achieved as a consequence of sustained and deliberate application over very many years, and all of the hard work has paid off handsomely. Yet again, nearly 90 percent of our university applicants will be moving onto a Russell Group institution and they do so with a brilliant record of achievement which will give them every confidence to excel on the degree courses which now await. Of course, grades like these also depend on all of those around our candidates – in particular, their parents and their teachers. I congratulate the community as a whole on everything which has been achieved. Our leavers will be very much missed, but we hope that they’ll stay in touch with us – they’ll always be a part of the Ibstock family."
