• Colyton Foundation
  Colyton Foundation

  Your Future Story is an innovative new programme developed by a powerful coalition of partners from the schools, higher education and charitable sectors to tackle a critical and persistent challenge: high-attaining children from under-resourced backgrounds in the South West of England are significantly less likely to progress to higher education – especially to high-tariff universities – than their peers elsewhere in the country.

  Tavistock College is excited to begin working closely with the Colyton Foundation from September 2025.

• Mental Health Support Team
  Mental Health Support Team

  We all have mental health, just like we all have physical health. Mental health is about how we think, feel and act. Sometimes we feel well, and sometimes we don't. When our mental health is good, we feel motivated and able to take on challenges and new experiences. But when our mental health is not so good, we can find it much harder to cope and need help.

  Tavistock College is working closely in partnership with the MHST; so as to best support our young people.

• Shut It Down
  Shut It Down

  Shut It Down work in schools, providing student training, staff training, resources and a network working together to equip educators to recognise harmful behaviour, take accountability and build safe, fair learning envrionments.

  Shut It Down exists to tackle misogyny where it takes root, in everyday school life. Harmful attitudes are too often dismissed as banter or ignored altogether. Letting those moments pass teaches young people that misogyny is normal, acceptable, or too awkward to confront.

  Our work interrupts that cycle.

  This is not a one-off intervention. We partner with schools to create space where behaviour can be challenged and educated, rather than brushed aside.

• Inclusion Quality Mark
  Inclusion Quality Mark

  Founded in 2004, IQM was created with a clear purpose: to support schools in improving and gaining recognition for their inclusive practice.

  Over the past two decades, IQM has evolved to meet the ever-changing demands of education. Adapting to shifts in curriculum, inspection frameworks, school demographics, and the increasing challenges leaders face in ensuring achievement for all.

  Our vision statement of, Supporting Inclusive Practices, Increasing Life Chances, drives everything we do.

  Our approach is straightforward, bespoke, and built on the belief that inclusion is unique to each school's context. Because our leadership and assessor teams come from extensive education backgrounds, we understand the pressures and realities of school life.

  When schools partner with IQM, they gain:

  • A clear framework for improvement
  • Measurable progress towards inclusion
  • Expert, supportive guidance from professionals who understand their challenges
