Plymstock School Case Study: Principle 7

Principle 7: Staff are well-informed

Plymstock School’s ambition is to empower 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. Its vision is ‘Achieving Excellence through Curriculum and Culture’ and its values are ‘Be Kind, Work Hard, Aim High’. 

This case study describes how leaders at Plymstock School provide timely communication for Service children, their parents and staff to enable it to deliver on the Armed Forces Covenant and ensure primarily that all staff and governors understand their needs at key times. Of particular note is the embedded whole-school approach to ensuring that all staff in a large school know their children well and are kept well-informed.
