School Values

Our St Martin’s values were designed following conversations with children, parents and staff about what makes St Martin’s special to them.

Selfless

Members of the St Martin’s community consider the needs of others; taking time to put these needs before their own. We believe in democracy and charity, embedding these in our curriculum.

Team Players

We work together to ensure that everyone can be the best they can be and encourage each other with positivity.

Multicultural

We are a multicultural school that celebrates our many religions, cultures and traditions with unequivocal respect for all.

Achievers

We strive for the highest academic results for all our pupils as well as developing and celebrating achievements in all subject areas, hobbies and interests.

Respectful

Members of the St Martin’s community are respectful of one another’s thoughts and opinions; we listen and discuss calmly with reasoned responses.

Thoughtful

Learners, including adults, think deeply about new concepts; asking and answering questions using methodical approaches.

Independent

We learn strategies and approaches to become independent in our learning and development, taking responsibility for our own actions.

Nurturing

St Martin’s is renowned for its family atmosphere in which everyone is valued as an individual and the community, staff and pupils all support one another to feel safe and happy so that everyone can succeed.

Spiritual

For us, being spiritual means fully knowing yourself; your morals, beliefs and purpose. We invite all members of our community to consider these by questioning their own thoughts and listening to those of others.

Pupils are happy to come to this friendly school. They are especially polite and respectful.
