About

Our School Our Mission, Vision and Values Our Mission, Vision and Values Our Mission: Learning to Dream, Learning to Believe, Able to Succeed for children to be happy, successful and confident, with enquiring minds and a natural desire for learning We teach our pupils to take risks in their learning and to challenge themselves.

We want them to have moral courage, making the right choices even when this is difficult. We want our children to treat others with respect and to respect property. We act with honesty and integrity. Children to take responsibility for themselves and their impact on the world around them.

We want our children to have a positive outlook and do what they can to make others feel happy. By putting your best into everything you do and aiming high, great achievements follow.

At St Martin's we aim to create a community of lifelong learners who, in a safe environment of mutual respect, acquire and develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to lead happy, productive and fulfilling lives. We encourage children to relish a challenge demonstrating a resilient approach that enables them to find success through valuing each step of their progress.
