We are very sorry to notify you of the passing of Timothy, who attended the School from 1952 until 1964.  

Timothy passed away in June, aged 80 years. 

We are conscious that some people who knew Timothy 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 Tinothy in the 2025-26 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

An actor I recall. Saw him as the Bishop of St Albans in Hadrian VII at Salisbury rep in c. 1971. He has had plenty of work.
All good wishes,
Paul Ridgway (OI 1955-62)

So sad to hear about Tim Kightley.  He was in my small group of friends which also included Pat Ungless (OI 1955-63) and Adrian Moore (OI 1953-63), though I did lose contact with Tim after we all left school.

Here's Tim participating in the annual school cross-country event (circa 1960).

I was sorry to hear that Timothy died recently. We were contemporaries at school and in the same house, Broke. We were both House and School Prefects so were often together, although by the 6th Form I was on the science side and he on the Arts.

I remember before the 5th Form (or whatever it is called now), we had "declamations" where we had to read out loud a piece of prose or a poem (possibly by memory but I can't remember!), something I was pretty useless at. Timothy though had the ability to speak the words with amazing emphasis and meaning, so it was no surprise, after appearing in many school plays, that he went into the acting profession. Whilst we lost touch after leaving school, I looked out for his name in theatre reviews, and it is no surprise that he became a successful actor both on the stage, in films and on TV.

RIP Timothy.

Anthony (Tony) Jackson (OI 1953-64)
