Plympton Academy is an inclusive suburban academy in the South West, offering A Level and BTEC courses. As an improving school, we take pride in the challenges students have overcome to reach the point of university applications. The Covid 19 process has been particularly challenging for our students; students in Year 12 2021 - 2022 missed contact learning days due to Covid related staffing shortages. This was a very challenging year for our students and our staff. The majority of our applicants were also with us in Year 11 from 2021 where they similarly missed learning days.
