Mount Wise Community Primary is a friendly, nurturing school situated in an amazing location right next to the sea and Mount Wise swimming pools. We have close links with Market Hall in Devonport and are proud to be graded a Good school in our most recent Ofsted inspection (2022). Mount Wise has its own nursery and classes from Foundation to Y6.  A vibrant and inclusive school, we welcome children from all over the city.

Staff at Mount Wise are hugely committed to bringing the best possible outcomes for pupils. As a member of the Learning Academies Trust, staff work in collaboration with colleagues from across the Trust on areas such as curriculum development, continued professional development, pupil premium, including research and safeguarding. We also work closely with the Trust's strategic arm of school improvement – PTSA (Plymouth Teachers and Schools Alliance).

Children are at the centre of all we do.  We have motivated staff who are committed to providing the very best care and education for each and every child, supported by our governors and the wider school community. We provide children with a solid foundation; equipping them with the values, skills and knowledge they need to live successful, healthy lives. 

We are an outward looking, busy school, who make the most of opportunities and links with local businesses and partners. Thanks to the support of these, we have a Wacky Forest and are creating outdoor learning spaces for our children to access. Some of our children are incredibly lucky to be involved in the Widening Horizons project offered by Millfields Inspired. They visit many different locations to find out about the world of work and the diverse range of jobs available in our city. 

Thank you for your interest in joining our school; we look forward to receiving your application and meeting you.
