St Martin of Porres RC Primary School

We are very proud of our nurturing ethos at St Martin of Porres Catholic Primary School. The strengths of each individual in our community are recognized and celebrated so that, together, we can develop and grow in the knowledge and love of Jesus.

Through our high expectations, enriching and stimulating curriculum, our Forest School opportunities and links with St Paul the Apostle Parish in Wood Green, we aim for all of our children to achieve highly and to understand their value in this changing world and the difference that they can make to other people's lives through their words and actions.

We work hard to help our children see themselves as life-long learners; knowing that the knowledge and skills that they develop in our school will help them achieve their dreams in the future. The school staff do not achieve this alone and staff recognize and value the importance of parents, as their children’s primary educators.

As a Catholic school, we believe that Jesus is at the heart of our learning, values and beliefs. By living our faith every day, we will see Jesus in each other, loving one another and fostering forgiveness. We aim to create a stimulating environment by valuing and celebrating our gifts and talents given to us by God the Father. Active and enjoyable learning takes place in our friendly and secure school.

We seek to create a stimulating environment and a happy, caring community where each person grows in knowledge and love.

The School is a one form entry School, having one class of children for each of the seven year groups in the primary range of 5 - 11 years. The school also has a Nursery class of 3 - 4 year old children. It is a School where the children, parents, teachers, governors and parish community work together to create the best possible environment for learning.

As a Roman Catholic school, we believe that Jesus is at the heart of our learning, values and beliefs. By living our faith every day, we will see Jesus in each other, loving one another and fostering forgiveness. We aim to create a stimulating environment by valuing and celebrating our gifts and talents given to us by God the Father. Active and enjoyable learning takes place in our friendly and secure school.

The Holy Spirit works in us to develop the community of St. Martin of Porres that celebrates diversity and welcomes and appreciates each person. We value the relationship that exists between home, school and parish and continually work to strengthen our links with the wider community.

We have high expectations for all, where every achievement is valued in all aspects of life and learning. By growing in the love of Jesus, we will have a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
