Plumstead Manor is a thriving girls’ school of 1,500 students in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, with 300 students in a mixed Sixth Form. Our focus as a school is to make sure our students are happy, well-disciplined and confident, at the same time as being stretched and challenged so that they excel and thrive in their future lives. We are a rapidly improving school where high quality teaching, in a safe and friendly environment is the key to unlocking the potential that we believe all our young people have. We blend an emphasis on academic scholarship, alongside our expectations for strong discipline, excellent behaviour and a relentless focus on the personal, social and emotional development of every child. This embodies our commitment to seeing all our students flourish and succeed, as we want every door to be open to them in their future lives.
