St Martin’s School

 

Welcome!

St. Martin's is a Church of England primary school catering for children from the age of 4 to 11 years which, as its name suggests, has close links with the parish church of the same name. Established as a National School in 1834 it has served local families for 175 years.

 

The church and school are named for St Martin of Tours, a fourth century Roman soldier who became a Christian and eventually was appointed Bishop of Tours.  It is said he was reluctant to become the Bishop, and so he hid in a stable filled with geese, but their honking revealed his location to the crowds who wished to acclaim him Bishop, and hence the symbol of our school is a goose.

 

The school is a thriving, friendly place where children learn, grow and develop within a caring, Christian environment and families feel part of a real community.

We achieve high academic standards in our excellent facilities in a glorious rural setting. Flexible staffing allows for small teaching groups and the school is very well equipped thanks to a hard-working and supportive parents' association.

 

In addition to the everyday curriculum we offer many varied activities which include: a range of sports and clubs; specialist days; themed projects with off-site outings, an annual residential week for older children and an After School Club.

You can read more about our aims, objectives and achievements in our school profile.

If you are considering St Martin’s School for your children we would be delighted to invite you to visit to observe the children at work and to answer any questions that you might have. Please contact our administrator, Mrs Sarah Hennessey, to arrange a mutually convenient time to visit.  Application forms and guidance material can be found on the Admissions page.
