About Us:

Thank you for considering Mount Tamar School.

Mount Tamar is a rapidly improving school having been through a period of leadership turbulence during 2021 resulting in a disappointing Ofsted judgement. New Leadership is now in place.

We have recently developed a new curriculum and a new behaviour policy. We expect to join a local Multi Academy Trust in the new future in order to continue our exciting improvement journey within the context of a wider family of schools.

We are looking for lively, resilient and emotionally secure staff who are willing to use their qualifications, experience and enthusiasm to join a staff team focused upon supporting and teaching our pupils to achieve their potential .

We operate from a number of sites in Plymouth. Our administration and HR base is at Row Lane in St Budeaux.

We are happy to show you around prior to application or interview.
