Teacher of Design & Technology

About us

Plumstead Manor is a thriving and popular secondary school located in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.  There has been a school on our site since 1913, with the first 105 years as a girls’ school.  In response to local demand, we admitted our first mixed cohort in 2018 and gradually moved to being fully co-educational by 2022.

Ours is a vibrant, diverse and inclusive school with over 60 languages spoken across our community.  We have a clear vision founded on excellence and justice, with the ambition to offer a world-class education to the young people and families of Greenwich.  Our recipe to achieve that is based on high-quality teaching and academic rigour, in a safe and happy environment.  Above all, we want our young people to leave school equipped with the powerful knowledge and necessary skills to change the world for the better.   

Our curriculum offers a range of pathways, blending the mastery of knowledge with the development of transferable skills, and will see our young people progress onto a full range of future pathways including medicine and veterinary science, courses at the most competitive universities, as well as high-quality apprenticeships.
