Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 8 February 2024
Strengths
- “There is a warm and welcoming atmosphere at St Martin’s.”
- “These traits that these characters embody are clearly demonstrated in the way that pupils approach their learning and the care and kindness they show to each other and adults.”
- “Parents appreciate this culture, with one saying, ‘The school environment is a very happy one which promotes good behaviour and respect for others.’”
To improve
- “The school is rightly aware that changes have not yet had time to become fully or consistently embedded, which means that some pupils are yet to achieve as highly as they could overall.”
