We are proud of our emphasis on examination success as the key to the door of future opportunities, but we aspire to much more than this.  Our girls will have been educated, not just examined.  Through our offer of a broad and intellectually demanding curriculum, a St Martin’s girls will develop a positive attitude, have and enquiring mind and be an independent thinker.  Above all, she will possess one of the most important attributes for today’s ever changing world – resilience.

The essence of St Martin’s is our Christian ethos, underpinned by our values of service, compassion, justice and perseverance which are central to the life of our school.  Students are at the heart of our vision; every girl that comes through our door will be cherished and grow in faith and develop academically, socially and spiritually.  We are proud that, as a school, we nurture and develop spiritually grounded young women who are confident in their social and academic ability, compassionate and ambitious for themselves and others and know that, with God’s guidance, everything is possible.

St Martin’s also has an exceptional 6^th Form provision for our girls, who are joined by students from other schools, including boys. We offer a small, inclusive environment where students grow, learn and prepare for undergraduate study and employment in today’s competitive world market.

Our commitment to academic excellence and personal wellbeing is total.  Our vision is summed up by our motto, Caritate et Disciplina – With Love and Learning.  Ofsted recognised the work we do with our young people and said, “The motto of the school is driven by all staff in a common endeavour to improve the life chances of all students.”
