  • College Leadership

    Leadership at Ivybridge Community College is central to the culture, standards and ambition of our College. In a community that strives for academic excellence, develops character and provides exceptional opportunities for all, leadership is about far more than title or responsibility, it is about service, example and creating the conditions in which students and staff can flourish.

    Guided by our values of Respect, Aspiration, Integrity and Compassion, our leaders set the tone through high expectations, strong relationships and a shared commitment to helping every young person succeed.

    At Ivybridge Community College, we work to a clear and shared leadership framework that champions humility, purpose and responsibility. Leadership is seen at every level of the College, with colleagues working together to uphold high standards, develop others and build a culture in which people feel valued, supported and empowered to do their best work.

    Our leadership and line management structure is designed to ensure that support is strong, appropriate and well aligned at every level, so that staff feel well guided in their roles and students, families and professional partners can connect with the right member of staff for the right reason, at the right time, in support of every child’s education and well-being.

    The structure below shows how leadership is organised across the College, helping ensure that students, families and professional partners can access the right support from the right person at the right time.
