St Martin's School is a friendly and lively school with extensive facilities, a school where boys are encouraged to enjoy life through challenge, interaction, compassion, and achievement.
St Martin's School's mission is to provide boys, aged 3-13, with the breadth of education and experience for them to realize their full potential at school in a safe and friendly environment, and to be well prepared for future life.
The school to have a happy, friendly atmosphere as well as a fair, secure, disciplined framework for learning. The boys receive an all-round education to develop the whole person, by the provision of sporting, artistic, musical, and academic opportunities.
The teaching to be of the highest quality, including the best of traditional and contemporary approaches, to enable the boys to fulfill their potential. Communication between parents, headmaster, staff, and boys to be of paramount importance at all stages of school life.
While preserving the fundamental Christian ethos of the school in its present multi-cultural mix, to cultivate mutual tolerance and understanding of other faiths.
The buildings, facilities, and resources to be of a high standard, safe, and suitable for today’s needs. Good relations with the local community to be fostered and, where appropriate, joint projects to be developed and school facilities to be made available.
St Martin’s offers a wide range of core and specialist teaching. Class sizes are small to ensure each pupil benefits from the best possible attention and support. All facilities, including sport and performing arts, are within our grounds. We know that academic success is very important and we strive to ensure that every boy achieves his best.
Pastoral care is given a high priority with all teachers nurturing pupils’ social development. There is a community atmosphere within the whole school, which is reinforced when pupils join Patrols in Year 3. Our popular Inter-Patrol activities encourage teamwork and introduce children to the responsibilities of supporting their peers. The school values the qualities of courtesy, sportsmanship, and consideration of others.
Our teachers are motivated, inspirational, and creative. They are focused on bringing out the talents and abilities of each boy, fostering his strengths, and stimulating his appetite for learning. Effective communication between the school and home ensures that there is a positive working partnership.
St. Martin’s delivers a rich, broad, and balanced curriculum throughout the school. This begins in Kindergarten and Reception, which follows the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, which encompasses the six key areas of learning and development. The boys are also introduced to the French language and culture. An excellent teacher: pupil ratio facilitates greater individual attention and the opportunity to foster strong relationships.
A very comprehensive After-School Activities program is offered with a variety of clubs taking place each week. The activities on offer are wide-ranging including academic and arts-based clubs, hobbies, as well as sporting pursuits. These are run by members of staff and occasionally an external organization. The majority of activities are included in the school fees, although some options require additional payment.
The aim is for every year group to go on a trip at least once a year. The school has an Educational Visits Co-ordinator and all trips adhere to government guidelines.
