Bronze Duke of Edinburgh 2026! Our Bronze Duke of Edinburgh students have had an incredible few months! After working on the various elements of their Bronze Award, volunteering in the community, and their physical and skills sections, it was time to take on the expedition! A training day at the College covered route planning and navigation, mastering the art of the compass. Students spent the day levelling up their campcraft and safety skills which covered everything they needed. The practice expedition then saw them conquer stunning (and challenging!) routes. From coastal paths to countryside trails, our students put all their map-reading and teamwork skills into action. Over the course of two weekends the students overcame the heat to complete their final qualifying and assessed expedition. Take a look at these photos captured over the various days which sum up the effort, team work and resilience perfectly! Well done to everyone involved. We are so proud of you! We were absolutely thrilled to welcome so many Year 8 students, parents and carers to College for the Introduction to their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh's Award. The atmosphere was buzzing as we shared all the vital information about what it takes to achieve the Bronze D of E! #ivybridgeDofE #ivybridgeBronzeDofE #DukeOfEdinburgh #OutdoorEducationivybridge #StudentAchievement #FleteEstate #ErmeEstuary #Teamwork #SchoolExpedition #swcoastpath #brixtontor #bovisanddevon

We have proudly celebrated the completion of our EAL Mentoring Programme! Over the last term and a half, five dedicated Sixth Form students volunteered their time to support our English as an Additional Language (EAL) and refugee students, helping them develop their language skills and build confidence in navigating school life. From breaking down language barriers and tackling GCSE texts to understanding social expectations, these mentors have helped their peers feel truly connected to our school community. This programme has been a showcase of student leadership, compassion, and inclusion in action. The impact was felt by everyone. While our EAL students gained vital academic and social support, our mentors developed communication, leadership, and intercultural skills. Every session was filled with meaningful learning, growing friendships and plenty of laughter! Unfortunately, school trips meant not everyone could be there for the photo, but we want to give a massive shout-out and thank you to all of our pairings. We are incredibly grateful to our Sixth Form volunteers for their commitment and enthusiasm. You have made such a positive difference! We can't wait to continue and grow the programme next year. #EALMentoringivybridge #InclusionMatters #MakingADifference #InspirationalStudents #peermentoring

Our golfers represented the College in the Devon Schools Golf Championship at Stover Golf Club. While the course was in pristine condition, it certainly didn't make things easy! Between the lightning-fast, firm greens and some seriously high wind speeds, it was a true test of skill and patience. What impressed us most wasn't just the swing speeds, but the mental toughness of our team. While the conditions saw many players struggle, our students stayed positive and kept scoring until the final hole. A massive shout-out to Eli (Year 10), who led the way for our squad! In a massive field of 128 golfers from across the county, Eli secured a fantastic 39th place finish. We are incredibly proud of how our students conducted themselves on and off the course. #SchoolGolf #DevonSchools #StoverGolfClub #StudentAthletes #Resilience #GolfLife #JuniorGolf
