St Martin’s is a one-form entry Catholic primary school in Moseley, Birmingham. We are a warm, welcoming and wonderfully diverse community where every child is known, valued and encouraged to flourish.

One of the great strengths of our school is that we know our children and families well, enabling us to provide a caring and nurturing environment in which children feel happy, safe and ready to learn.

Through Jesus We Achieve Our Very Best

As a Catholic school, our faith is at the heart of everything we do. Our mission:

“Through Jesus we achieve our very best.”

guides our decisions, our relationships and our aspirations for every child.

We believe that every child is unique, precious and loved by God. Inspired by the Gospel, we encourage our children to live out our values of Love, Peace, Justice, Honesty and Forgiveness, showing kindness and respect to others and recognising the dignity of every person.

Our patron, St Martin de Porres, provides us with a wonderful example of faith in action. His life of service, compassion and care for those in need inspires us to think beyond ourselves and to use our gifts and talents to help others.

High Expectations and Big Ambitions

We have high expectations for every child and want our pupils to leave St Martin’s believing in themselves and excited about their future.

Our dedicated staff are committed to providing a broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum that enables children to develop their knowledge, skills, talents and interests. Alongside academic achievement, we place great importance on children's spiritual, moral and social development.

We want our children to become confident, compassionate, resilient and aspirational young people, equipped with strong values and ready to make a positive contribution to the world around them.

Working Together

We recognise that children thrive when school and home work together. We are extremely fortunate to enjoy the support of our parents, carers, parish and wider community, and we value these partnerships enormously.

Together, we share a commitment to giving every child at St Martin’s the very best possible start, helping them to recognise their potential and encouraging them to become the person God has called them to be.

I hope our website gives you a flavour of what makes St Martin de Porres such a special place. The best way to experience our school, however, is to see it for yourself, and we are always delighted to welcome visitors.

God bless,

Mr A Crehan
Headteacher
