Students at Ivybridge Community College are celebrating an “outstanding” set of GCSE results, with pupils achieving a range of impressive grades.

The college said this year’s results reflected strong overall performance, with students now preparing to move on to sixth form, specialist post-16 providers, apprenticeships and vocational courses.

Among the standout performers was Lucy S, who achieved straight grade 9s across ten subjects, including Statistics, which she studied independently.

Lucy said: “I am delighted with my grades, especially English, I didn’t think I’d get that grade.

“I’m excited to stay on at Ivybridge Community College Sixth Form to do Maths, Further Maths, Physics and an EPQ as I’d love to do a degree in Maths in the future.”

Thomas G also achieved an exceptional set of results, while making a significant contribution to college life through rugby and music.

He plays saxophone with Devon Youth Music and said: “This has been an incredible year, a real demonstration that hard work can and will pay off and any goal can be achieved.”

Another student celebrating was Scarlett J, who achieved the majority of her results at grade 5 and above.

Her results have secured her a place on a highly competitive Babcock apprenticeship.

Scarlett said: “Thank you to all my teachers who have helped me pass everything. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without you guys.”

The college said its Finish Line programme had also played a role in supporting pupils during the final stages of Year 11.

The programme included subject intervention sessions, targeted revision resources and additional guidance from teachers after college and during the holidays.

Principal Rachel Hutchinson said the results day was an opportunity to celebrate the individual journeys of the college’s students.

She said: “We are delighted to see students progressing on to a wide range of exciting next steps.

“I look forward to seeing the class of 2026 continue to flourish in our community in the years ahead.”
