About The Ilfracombe Academy
The Ilfracombe Academy is an 11-18 Church of England Academy located in the town of Ilfracombe, on a hill overlooking the sea. The school is a new build under the Priority School Building Programme and was completed in October 2017. There are currently approximately 1070 students on roll with 140 in the Sixth Form. The school role is rising due to demographic changes, and also to the fact that the school is becoming increasingly popular with parents and children as their first choice school.
Vision and Values
The school’s core values, “Hope, Kindness, Courage, Integrity, Respect, Trust and Responsibility” chosen by the children and the wider community, are central to the work of the school.
The school is committed to the highest standards of academic excellence; dedicated to providing the best possible education for all its students by developing the knowledge, understanding and skills essential for learning and leading a fulfilled life.
The school was inspected by SIAMS in February 2017 and was judged to be Good with Outstanding leadership. OFSTED also judged the school to be Good in all categories in 2017 and stated “The Headteacher and other senior leaders demonstrate high expectations and have clear ambition for the school”. The school has “grown” many of its leaders and is committed to offering all staff the opportunity to develop professionally. Staff value the wide range of CPD on offer.
The school has a four-year rising trend of GCSE results but there is no sense of complacency and the school values applications from candidates who are committed to making a difference to the lives of young people in the coastal community.
