Mr Douglas Greig

I have been a secondary school teacher for over 25 years, all of them in Royal Greenwich Schools.  I have held a senior leadership role for over 20 of those years, and was delighted to be appointed Head Teacher at Plumstead Manor in May 2015.   I am passionate about the power of education to unlock doors and open up opportunities for young people of all abilities and backgrounds, and I want the very best for each and every one of them.  I firmly believe that schools like ours have a vital role to play as assets in their local community.

Our school is an engine of opportunity and improvement, a generator of harmony and cohesion for the young people and families of Greenwich.  These are exciting times at Plumstead Manor, and I am both privileged and proud to serve as the Head in our wonderfully diverse and vibrant school.
