English Martyrs is a popular, well respected and self-improving school which was recently judged to be a 'good' school (Ofsted, July 2023). Denominational inspectors deemed the school to be 'good with outstanding features'.

Our school is known for its friendly, caring environment where children thrive. As a Catholic school, we create an atmosphere in which children can grow into the fullness of their faith. We develop their understanding of, and respect for, people of all faiths and cultures. We value parents as children’s first teachers. We aim to educate our pupils in every way so that they are friendly, spiritual and caring individuals who enjoy learning and achieve their potential in all areas.

We provide a welcoming, safe environment in which children learn to speak and behave properly and to care for and comfort others. We encourage the children to carry these lessons with them into their every-day lives whilst they are at our school and when they move on.

Our vision is to be a school community that works together to achieve excellence; where all are valued; where children become resilient and confident; have no limits placed upon them and grow as individuals in God's love.
