We are very sorry to notify you of the passing of John who was at the School from 1937 until 1945.

John Stuart Wootton, known as 'Pip', sadly passed away 12 June 2024 aged 97 years. Much loved husband to Jerry, father, grandfather and great grandfather. A life well lived and loved.

We are conscious that some people who knew John during his time at the School may not be in contact with us and we would be very grateful if you could pass on this information to those that you know.

As is usual practice, we would like to place an obituary for John in the 2023-24 OI Journal. If you know of any stories or memories which you can pass on to us so we can put them together for the publication we would be most grateful. Please address any contributions to me through oldipswichians@ipswich.school
