Iveshead is an  inclusive 11-19 school in the heart of the Shepshed community with our core values of ‘Respect, Succeed, Enrich’. We have high expectations of our students and are ambitious for each and every one of them.  Our mission is clear - we want to ensure that all of our students have an excellent education and experience of school, giving them opportunity and choice beyond Year 11 and Year 13.

Our students are fantastic young people who work hard, enjoy learning and make every day different.

We work together to ensure that we are removing barriers and helping students to flourish. We are a truly inclusive school and are rightly proud of our two specialist provisions.
