Welcome to St Martin de Porres Catholic Primary School


"Through Jesus, we achieve our very best"

St Martin de Porres is a voluntary aided Roman Catholic school where the teachings of Christ form the core of our work. We aim to provide high quality teaching and learning for all our members so that they are able to recognise and fulfil the gifts and potential given to them by God.
 
We pride ourselves on being a school which is warm, friendly and supportive. An environment where all can flourish and achieve success.
 
The school was built at the end of the 1960's and takes 30 children into the reception class each September. Application forms for school places and our admission criteria are available from the Parents Tab, Key Information page on this website.

St Martin's Prayer

​Dear St Martin,

Your whole life was committed
to looking after the sick and needy
as well as the animals upon the earth.
You showed us a wonderful example
of the teachings of Jesus.
Bless all of us in this school family
and help us all to continue to follow your example.
St Martin, pray for us.

A Child’s view

​​​
I like St. Martin de Porres, it’s the best of all,
A helping hand with any incident or fall,
Including everyone, leaving no one behind,
Oh! And don’t forget the teachers are really kind,
There are lots of subjects and activities to do,
And the uniform is really smart too,
The dinners are tasty made by the kind cook,
If you come to this school you’ve got really good luck!
Children at St. Martin's achieve high academic standards. OfSTED described the standard of behaviour and relationships at the school as outstanding.

In November 2020, the PTA launched a collective art project:
​A request to help find MISSING THINGS
When Covid-19 demanded a lockdown and restrictions became part of our lives, we had to give up many things.
‘THINGS’ that we love can be hard to live without. Show us what you ‘missed’ or are still ‘missing’ through art.

A lot of people from our school community participated in this project over the 2020-2021 academic year. You can now view all the artwork produced in a virtual exhibition by clicking on MISSING THINGS.
