Welcome to Ivanhoe College

A Specialist Technology Academy on a 'Journey to Excellence'

Welcome to Ivanhoe College and thank you for your interest in our school.

At Ivanhoe College our students come first. We are a caring school with a disciplined family atmosphere. We have high standards,expecting all students to follow the Ivanhoe Way.

Our vision statement describes us being on a ‘Journey to Excellence’ and we value the unique contribution of each student and want them to achieve their full potential.

Highly skilled and dedicated staff provide an excellent, caring environment in which students can learn and flourish safely. Our aspirations, expectations and commitment are relentlessly high for all members of the college community.

We are extremely proud of our excellent results which are consistently well above national averages both at the end of Key Stage 3 when our students move on Ashby School, and at the end of Key Stage 4 when our students achieve their GCSEs.

High Attaining students thrive at Ivanhoe College and Ashby School, with a good proportion of students gaining the highest levels at GCSE and A-Level, and high rates staying on in the sixth form and going to university.

We enjoy learning together – not only in lessons but also through the wide range of extra-curricular activities we have on offer, and we encourage all students to get involved and develop their skills and talents further.

This website is designed to contain up to date information about our school, but if you cannot find what you are looking for, please do not hesitate to get in touch on 01530 412 756 or use our contact form on the website.. Better still, why not make an appointment to visit the school. We would be delighted to show you around.
