Ibstock Place School

Ibstock Place School is an independent co-educational day school for pupils aged 4 –18 located in Roehampton, south-west London. It was founded as the Froebel Demonstration School, the name meaning that it was connected with the Froebel Institute and the demonstration of its educational principles. For many years the school educated pupils up to the age of 13. In 1976, however, this was extended to 16 years until the age range extended to 18 years after a sixth form was established in 2005.

Ibstock Place School was named after the original house in Clarence Lane, Roehampton where the school moved in 1946, and remains today. Nearby in Roehampton was the Froebel Education College which pioneered the educational ideas of Friedrich Froebel in Britain in 1892. At the end of the nineteenth century, the College had been established in Kensington, West London, and the first Froebel Demonstration School was founded in 1894 in Colet Gardens. The first headmistress was Esther Lawrence, and there were six pupils.
