Values and vision

Ilford County High School’s values are integrity, courtesy, hard work and success.  We support our pupils to grow into well-balanced young adults and prioritise pastoral care and mental health and wellbeing. Students are encouraged to develop a wide range of skills and interests, alongside their academic studies. Strong emphasis is placed on citizenship and boys are supported to become actively involved in the school and wider community.

Ofsted report

“Pupils are set aspirational academic targets by leaders and have high expectations of  themselves. Staff also encourage pupils to look after their physical and mental  health. Pupils said that their teachers talk about mental well-being all the time. If  pupils have a concern about anything, they can speak to a teacher. Pupils access  extra support if they need it."
