One of the most important decisions that you will make as a parent is choosing the right school for your child. At St Martin’s, we aim to ensure that every child continues to fulfil his or her potential, enjoys school life to the maximum and looks back at the time he or she spent here as a wonderful learning experience. Happy children learn well and the caring family environment of St Martin’s is paramount to its continuing success.
St Martin’s has an enviable reputation for high academic standards and we are very proud of the children’s considerable achievements in all aspects of their education. Whilst there is a ‘traditional’ feel to much of our day, with high expectations in terms of our learning environment, discipline and good manners, we are forward thinking and seek to equip our children with the skills they need in the modern world. We aim to produce confident children who are inspired to become lifelong learners.
It is a privilege for me to be working with such enthusiastic and committed pupils and staff. Joining the school in 2014, first as a teacher, then parent and now as Head, I am always impressed with the hard work and dedication of this small, yet significant community.
I would be delighted to welcome you to the School, to share with you our vision for your child’s education and for you to experience all that St Martin’s has to offer. We hope to see you soon!

Happy children learn well and the caring, family environment of St Martin’s is the key to our success. The structure and character of the school enhance individual confidence and self-respect. It encourages pupils to develop lively, inquiring minds and to form lasting friendships. The curriculum as a whole promotes the intellectual, spiritual, moral and physical development of the pupils and gives all age ranges the best possible chance of reaching their full potential.
Our School motto is ‘Thorough’ – a principle that underpins all we do.
“Relationships between pupils and teachers are very positive. Much of the successful teaching in the school is built on this strong foundation of trust. Pupils are kind to each other and willing to express gratitude for the kindness shown to them by their classmates.” OFSTED

St Martin’s School has shaped who I am. It always felt like a family with everyone looking out for each other and the teachers genuinely care about the children’s welfare and education. The teachers always took the time to explain things however many times needed and would give one-to-one attention, the small class sizes ensured this.
We consider our decision to send our child to St Martin’s to be one of the best decisions we have ever made and would not hesitate to recommend St Martin’s to any parent looking for a traditional school with the highest standards.
I must say that this school is one of the most caring and happy environments for a child to grow up in. Our children loved it and made so many friends and such good academic progress. The head teacher and staff are really excellent. They listen to the parents and children. 100% recommend this school from every point of view, but especially if you want a small caring family feel.
Amazing school, we are like one big family, teachers are so good with the children, you feel like a person, not just a number.
Amazing school. By year 3 my child was prepared for Grammar. One of its strengths as compared to other private schools is it is truly independent and thorough in approach and children are taught Geog and History- not theme based studies. Lovely teachers and warm environment.
I went to this school and so can say first hand what a caring and moral environment it is. It has shaped who I am, it always felt like a family with everyone looking out for each other and the teachers genuinely care about the children’s welfare and education. The teachers always took the time to explain things however many times needed and would give one to one attention, the small class sizes ensured this. As well as getting a great education, the school taught me what it is to be a good person and to be kind to others and I will always have very fond memories of my time there. I was sad to leave!
