About Marine Academy Primary

Marine Academy Primary is a school that clearly inspires confidence among local families. In the most recent admissions round for 2025/26, the school received 111 applications for just 59 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.88 applicants per place. Of those, 65 families put it down as their first preference, and all 59 available spots went to first-preference applicants. That level of demand is a strong signal from parents who know the school best. While the school doesn’t publish a formal parent satisfaction survey, the numbers speak for themselves: families are actively choosing Marine Academy Primary over other options in Plymouth. The school is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, with nursery provision on site, and is led by headteacher Georgina Reid. It is non-religious and co-educational, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Outstanding across every category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision.
