A liberated young schoolteacher at an Edinburgh girls school in the period between the two world wars, instructs her girls on the ways of life. Ignoring the more mundane subjects, she teaches them of love, politics and art. Her affairs with two male teachers become known and she finds herself fighting to keep her job. She believes that she can always count on the one hundred percent support of her favorite pupils, but one of them does not feel that Miss Jean Brodie (Dame Maggie Smith) is in her "prime" anymore. No longer swayed by her teachers eloquence, she begins to learn about life and love herself.
Marcia Blaine is a conservative private girls school in Edinburgh. Amongst its staff is flamboyant Jean Brodie (Dame Maggie Smith), who has a romantic view of everything she experiences, including the politics of such leaders as and . As she sees herself as a teacher first and foremost, she wants to impart as much of her self to her eleven and twelve-year-old students, but especially to her "set", the small group of girls who she finds special. She almost feels that she can preordain her students futures, especially those of her set, and as such, she has the loyalty of those girls. In the 1932/33 school year, when thirty-something Miss Brodie considers herself in the prime of her life and as such has more of her experience to impart, she has amongst her set: Sandy (Pamela Franklin), the insightful one; Jenny (Diane Grayson), the pretty romantic; literary Monica (Shirley Steedman); and timid, stuttering orphan Mary McGregor (Jane Carr), who accepts the guidance of anyone who will provide it to her. Miss Brodie is at odds with most of the other staff, but especially the strict head mistress, Emmeline Mackay (Celia Johnson), not only because Miss Brodie does not teach the prescribed curriculum, but because of what Miss Mackay sees as Miss Brodies improper attitude on life which she brings into her classroom. Miss Mackays mission is to fire Miss Brodie, despite Miss Brodie having tenure. That year, Miss Brodie begins a relationship with the schools somewhat conservative music teacher, Gordon Lowther (Gordon Jackson), although she is still attracted to the schools married art teacher, Teddy Lloyd (Robert Stephens), with whom she had an affair and who still loves her. Her set are aware of what goes on in most of Miss Brodies life as they spend most of their time with her, even Miss Brodies weekends with Mr. Lowther at his seaside home in Cramond. They are, however, unaware of certain secrets, such as her affair with and continued attraction to Mr. Lloyd. Over the years of their lives at Marcia Blaine, this specific set of girls will have a profound effect on Miss Brodie by their actions, even if she cannot or does not out of choice see those effects.
