Welcome to Plympton St Maurice Primary School.                                           

We are a small, friendly school for 4 to 11 year olds.  We are fortunate to share our school site with the Plympton St. Maurice Child Care Centre who provide excellent baby care, child care and preschool facilities, as well as before and after school provision.

At Plympton St Maurice Primary School we believe that each child is an individual and is treated with care and respect.

It is our vision that at
Plympton St Maurice Primary School pupils will be
‘successful, confident, responsible citizens’

*Successful learners , who enjoy learning, make progress and achieve;
*Confident individuals, who are able to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives;
*Responsible citizens, who make positive contributions to society.
(this vision was established in September 2013, by All school staff, Governors and Parent Council)

We are a hardworking staff who are committed to providing a good education in a safe and caring environment.  Working and learning together for the future is the ethos of the school. Parents, teachers and the whole school community work in partnership to ensure children achieve their very best.

We hope our school website gives you a flavour of what life is like at Plympton St. Maurice Primary School.  If there is any aspect of school life that you would like to know more about please do not hesitate to contact us.

Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.  We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We are advised to inform all parents and carers of our duty to report concerns that a child may have been neglected or abused to the relevant authorities. We may do so, in some circumstances, without your consent and/or without informing you.
