Marine Academy Plymouth (formerly Tamarside Community College) is a mixed all-through school located in the King's Tamerton area of Plymouth in the English county of Devon. The school includes a nursery, primary, secondary and sixth form section.
Previously a community school administered by Plymouth City Council, Tamarside Community College was converted to academy status on 1 September 2010 and was renamed Marine Academy Plymouth. As an academy the school is sponsored by Plymouth University, Cornwall College and Plymouth City Council.
Marine Academy Plymouth offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels, Cambridge Nationals and further BTECs. The school also offers some vocational courses in conjunction with Cornwall College.
Marine Academy Primary is part of the first all-through school in Plymouth. Until Easter 2014 MAP2 was based in the remaining 1930's buildings after the new buildings were created for the Secondary side of the school. When the pupils returned after the Easter Holidays the newly created Marine Academy Primary building based south of the main campus was opened. Part of this new building is shared with the Sixth Form.
Marine Academy has four Houses, each named for local beaches: Bantham, Cawsand, Edgcumbe and Wembury. The Houses were named to link with the Academies specialist Marine status. Each student is placed into a House and remains there for the duration of their education at the Academy.
