Plymstock School is a comprehensive secondary school (ages 11-18) in Plymstock, a suburb of Plymouth, Devon, England. It was the first West Devon Comprehensive School and is a Specialist Sports College.
As of 2006 it has some 1,600 students, of whom 240 are in the sixth form. The school claims to be "the most oversubscribed school in Devon".
Plymstock School is maintained by Plymouth City Council. In 2003 it underwent what was reported as a budget crisis, forcing redundancies and reduced spending on new classrooms to replace temporary facilities. Then-head teacher Sean Sweeney commented: "Staff will put in a bit more to compensate. We can probably do that. But I am not sure the legislators fully appreciate where the demands are".
