As an academy the school is sponsored by Plymouth University, Cornwall College and Plymouth City Council. [3]

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. [4]

School buildings

Marine Academy Primary (MAP2)

Marine Academy Primary is part of the first all-through school in Plymouth. Until Easter 2014 MAP2 was based in the remaining 1930s 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.
