Jobs at Discovery Multi Academy Trust

Welcome to Discovery Multi-Academy Trust and thank you for your interest in our vacancy.   

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.   

To achieve our vision, we:

·       Encourage all our children and staff to excel and collaborate with one another, to ensure the best outcomes and progress for all.

·       Develop joyful learning communities that work together to improve standards and outcomes for our children, as part of a wider community.

·       Ensure that we remain committed to the following values that underpin the way we work:

 DEMOCRATIC,    INCLUSIVE,       EXCELLING,      COLLABORATIVE

The Trust is committed to specialising in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) education, as part of our vision to be one of the South West's most vibrant collaborative educational establishments. We want to enable every child to learn in a rich, challenging, imaginative and inclusive environment, and STEM helps to make this a reality.

Our commitment to achieving these goals for our children begins with the dedication and hard work of our school staff, Local Advisory Board (LAB) and Board of Trustees. Whether you are a support assistant, a new member of the administration team, a class teacher or a senior leader you have an equally important part to play in the success of our MAT. Along with hard work comes a huge amount of fun and massive rewards from working with a fantastic team of staff and children.  

We are here to nurture, educate and inspire our young people and are fully committed in supporting and developing every member of staff to be the best that they can be.                        

We look forward to being able to welcome you to part of our team!
