Plymstock School is a vibrant, diverse, inclusive and ambitious community where staff and students, in partnership with their parents and carers, work towards our vision of achieving excellence through our curriculum and culture. This vision is aimed at giving every individual the best chance to thrive.
We take inspiration from those in our community. We strive to provide an environment full of integrity and knowledge, where students are dedicated to their work and are proud of what they do and who they are. Our ambition is to empower our young people, through education, to have the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in life and make a positive difference to their communities.
Our school culture is underpinned by our core values of ‘be kind, work hard and aim high’. Our staff offer powerful and shared knowledge to the children who attend Plymstock School. By moving along the path of our broad, balanced and ambitious academic and behaviour curriculum, students develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours they need to pursue their personal and career ambitions.
Our curriculum prepares our young people for the demands and challenges of our multicultural society, to be equipped for life in modern Britain and beyond. This progression is underpinned by a sharp focus on reading. Students read daily and are supported to develop a love of reading while accessing high quality and challenging literature.
We set clear rules for young people to teach them how to secure every benefit of a good education, to control their impulses, delay gratification, and exert self-discipline. We believe that students have the best opportunity to thrive within a framework of high expectations and clear routines to enable all students to consistently meet our school CORE expectations rooted in strong, respectful and positive relationships.
Our pastoral care provision supports where students find it difficult to meet our CORE expectations. We endeavour to work in partnership with the student and the parent/carer to support. Our academic and behaviour curriculum is also underpinned by a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities.
We are seeking Casual Exam Invigilators to support the School during our busy exam periods.
