Ryan Kelsall is the Deputy CEO of Eastern Learning Alliance, a new role he took on in September 2020, following five extremely successful years as the Principal of Impington Village College (IVC). During his time as Principal, IVC consistently ranked in the top performing schools in Cambridgeshire and the top 10% nationally, while remaining true to its inclusive ethos, annually supporting over 90 students with Educational Health Care Plans (EHCPs). In 2020, IVC was crowned East Anglia State School of the Year by
The Sunday Times. Ryan’s commitment to inclusive practice is well known locally, having chaired the East and South Cambridgeshire Inclusion Partnership (ESCIP) for the last four years, ensuring no students in the area have been permanently excluded and the most vulnerable receive the additional support they require to succeed; based on this success, he has recently taken on a similar role for the Cambridge city schools. In 2019, Ryan was nominated and shortlisted for Headteacher of the Year. Ryan is also chair of the Local Governing Body of TBAP Cambridge, the county’s alternative provision school for students at risk of exclusion and has helped them improve the educational provisions and opportunities for students not adequately provided for by mainstream education. Ryan’s new role incorporates the responsibility to deliver the promise of outstanding education for students with autism in Cambridge by recruiting and supporting an excellent Headteacher and staff body as well as opening The Cavendish School in 2021.
