IKB opened in September 2020 as a brand-new school on the recently built Longforth Farm development in Wellington. The school was built to cater to the growing numbers of families moving into the Wellington area, and particularly for this development. In 2020 IKB welcomed its first cohort of Reception children. Since then, the school has grown organically, one year group at a time to its current size of primary aged children from Reception to Year 4, inclusive of its thriving IKB Bright Sparks nursery provision.
