At Ivybridge Community College, we are committed to maintaining the highest Standards and Expectations in all aspects of college life. These standards underpin our key focus of delivering high quality Teaching and Learning within the classroom, ensuring every student is supported, challenged and inspired to achieve their full potential. Through clear expectations, positive relationships and a culture of mutual respect, we strive to embed a safe, inclusive and aspirational community where all students can thrive.

Our approach is firmly rooted in our College's values of Respect, Aspiration, Integrity and Compassion, which guide the behaviours, attitudes and relationships across our college community. Our Standards and Expectations support our continued college mission and priorities, and reflect the principles of our “Ivybridge Way”, preparing students to become confident, responsible and successful members of society.

“Pupils’ behaviour is impeccable in lessons and around the school. The school has very high expectations for pupils’ behaviour. Pupils learn the routines of school very well. As a result, pupils feel safe and enabled to learn well…Pupils’ attitudes to learning are impressive. Pupils behave very well in lessons and around the school resulting in a calm, harmonious learning environment. Relationships between pupils and staff are warm and nurturing.” (Ofsted, February 2025)
