Welcome

On behalf of the Children, Parents, Staff and Board of Governors, may I welcome you to St Martin de Porres Catholic Primary School. We are extremely proud of our school community and our aim is to work in partnership with our parents to best support our children’s needs throughout their time at St Martin’s.

As a staff we have high expectations for all aspects of school life, so that children receive the best quality education and care during their time here.

Mission Statement

“Working together in the light of the Lord” At St Martin‘s we acknowledge that we are all called to be witnesses of the Lord and our Mission Statement reflects our belief in the importance of partnership between home, school and parish. This relationship enables us to achieve a family atmosphere providing a secure, happy environment with Christ at the centre. By endeavouring to live the Gospel so that it influences everything we do, we aim to:

• Value every member of the school community and develop the potential of each individual
• Create an educational environment in which we are encouraged to enjoy our work whilst aspiring to the highest standards of achievement and behaviour
• Give children the experience of being part of, and active members in a Catholic community which celebrates through word and deed the unique, God-given nature of each individual
• Support parents and parishes in developing the children‘s knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith
• Develop a caring community which recognises that each member is equally deserving of respect, tolerance, understanding and opportunity, regardless of ability, gender, race, age or creed
