Connected
"I enjoy working for PLP, connecting with different professions."

Our network of experts combine with schools all around the city, allowing us to deliver the service that children need, no matter who or where they are.

Responsive
"I have always found PLP to be incredibly responsive to our needs."

We’re ready to jump into action to respond to schools’ and pupils’ needs. Our dynamic, highly-trained team are ready for action – schools know they can rely on us.

Creative
"Everyone is committed to find a creative way to remove barriers and support families."

Resourceful, perceptive and well-informed, we know there’s not always a one-size-fits-all solution. We explore different approaches to find the best way to help.

Supportive
"They enable us to identify and support the needs for the children."

We’re here to take care of people. Ensuring school staff and parents are given the right help and resources ultimately means that children benefit.

You’re in good company

Our ability to bring children, families and schools the support they need relies on the relationships and connections we make. Here’s a sample of the feedback we’ve had from people who have called on Plymouth Learning Partnership’s services.

"We have used the Health and Safety service from PLP for a number of years and I cannot recommend their service enough. They provide accurate and timely health and safety advice, with an understanding of the challenges faced by schools. They have helped me to save money by avoiding unnecessary expenditure or recommending contractors offering value for money on their services. Easily accessible by email and mobile phone, they have certainly been on hand to help out in a crisis too."

"The service and provision provided by PLP has been exceptional and at times almost life saving They are professional and compassionate and strive to provide the very best for our families across our city."

"Andrew has been a great help to me personally. I started in a school with no health and safety or educational background. I felt quite overwhelmed, however, Andrew guided me through the compliance requirements and reassured me when I needed advice. He is very patient and explains things clearly. He is very knowledgeable and an expert in his field. I’m not sure how I would have managed without this support and guidance!"

"I like that through my role in PLP children are at the heart of the therapy we deliver, and how good communication is between the team schools and families."

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Supply Plus. The sign-up process and online booking system are well organised, and I have found it fantastic for helping to organise my days with ease. Supply Plus staff have always answered the phone and replied to emails almost instantly and have aided with any issues I may have. I have had the most amazing experiences in multiple schools around Plymouth and thank the Supply Plus team for giving me these opportunities. I really hope to work with Supply Plus again in the future.

I have worked for Supply Plus since 2016, 7 years, and I would highly recommend this company. The staff have always been professional, caring and supportive. They are always polite and friendly and very importantly keep you informed of events. It has been a pleasure to work for Supply Plus, they are a wonderful team to work for.

“MAST are amazing. All of the staff are resourceful, compassionate and hardworking. Everyone is committed to find a creative way to remove barriers and support children and their families to move forwards. I would not be able to do my job without the support, expertise and advice that the MAST team provide. They are always there when we need them the most.”

"I started working for PLP as a placement student and fell in love with not only the work but also the team and the values that underpin everything. I was later hired after finishing my degree and haven't looked back since. I work daily with children providing varying support and I utilise having a multi-disciplinary to help me tailor session to meet student needs. I feel valued and appreciated by PLP and could not imagine myself working elsewhere.”

“It has given me the opportunity to reach children and families who may never have been able to access therapy or support in the way that we give. It has allowed me to work with a variety of people and explore my practise over the years, enabling me to become the practitioner I am..”

“PLP workers are flexible & try to meet the needs of child/home/school. They are the only support in the city who are actually proactive & help rather than have long waiting lists. We pay for additional high need & it's a worry for the future if school cannot meet this cost. The demand for support from PLP is ongoing & rising! We simply cannot do without them..”
