DEMOCRATIC - INCLUSIVE - COLLABORATIVE - EXCELLING

Welcome to Discovery

Our successful Trust was formed in 2016 and is the result of the amalgamation of three primary schools from across the Plymouth area; including Oakwood Primary Academy, Beechwood Primary Academy and Weston Mill Community Primary Academy. We are also fortunate enough to be able to provide an alternative nurture provision, for primary aged children from schools across the city – The Edison Centre.

At Discovery MAT our key aim is to ensure that every child is able to thrive and achieve their full potential, through quality learning experiences. We also ensure that our children are safe, secure and happy during their time with us and endeavour to fully prepare them for their secondary school education and beyond.

We embrace the individuality of each of our academies, their pupils, staff and communities, but work collaboratively as a Trust to ensure the best possible learning opportunities for all of our pupils. This is reinforced by our shared leadership, experience and support network.
