Inspired by St Martin, who served others in unconditional love, we welcome all to learn and to grow in our nurturing and happy school. We are proud of our six Christian values, which embrace each precious individual as part of our unique and inclusive community. We help each other to experience the fullness of life and to become the best that we can be.

Together, we strive, aspire and succeed: we work with resilience, we dream big and we flourish. Like St Martin, when we go out into the wider world, we add to its richness through the many gifts and skills we have to share.

Our six Christian values underpin our curriculum, enhance each curriculum area and are evident throughout the school.

Friendship 

We appreciate each precious individual and so good friendships flourish. We welcome everyone into our harmonious, happy school where we have fostered strong relationships with our whole community. Through developing a greater understanding of each other and our world we are preparing for and growing our understanding of our role in our wider community.

Love

We create a happy, nurturing, inclusive school community where we are kind and gentle. We are embraced as precious individuals and all of us are valued and encouraged to develop a love of learning. Through our restorative approach we are taught to be caring and develop empathy. We provide opportunities to experience the fullness of life and wonder at God’s magnificent world.

Responsibility

We learn to take responsibility. We are independent learners who are taught to take responsibility for our own learning and so become the best we can be. We are reliable and cooperative which means we are depended on to support others and serve an active part in our school community. We take responsibility for our own behaviour and are thoughtful of other’s feelings, values and beliefs. Our restorative approach to behaviour teaches us the importance of telling the truth and helps us learn to be accountable for our own actions.

Courage

We foster self-belief. We embrace and learn from new challenges even if this means we need to be brave. Because we learn about important issues, we know we sometimes need to be bold to stand up for what is right; we develop inner-strength to deal with real-life situations.

Honesty

We are honest about what we can do and open about where we need support so all can succeed. We have strong morals that guide us to do the right thing, even when no one is watching. We are truthful with ourselves and others. We have strong and sincere relationships with one another and value faithful friends.

Respect

We are inclusive and respect everyone’s right to learn and develop their good learning behaviours. We are courteous and polite to everyone and demonstrate good manners. We respect the needs and rights of others, as a member of a diverse society and, although we may not share the same beliefs and values, we show tolerance.
