Ivybridge Community College is a state-funded secondary school and academy in Ivybridge, Devon, England. Located on the southern slopes of Dartmoor, it takes students from the surrounding 100 square miles (260 km2) of the South Hams, from 14 contributory primary schools.[4]

It is the second-largest secondary school in Devon and among the ten largest secondary schools in England,[1][5] with over 2,400 pupils, few of whom are from ethnic minorities and 14% of whom are registered special educational needs pupils.[6] It has many departments and caters for special needs and disabled pupils, with sensory rooms and lifts for the pupils in wheelchairs. They vary from Year 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13. There is plenty of support as the school has a SEND department team, four of which are specially assigned to the disabled pupils. They have a range of different subjects and a Learning Resource Centre with computers and books. There are also a large range of clubs and elite gymnastics and football. The football and rugby go occasionally to an away game.
