Spiritual life
Saint Martin's was founded in 1948 by the Dominican Sisters of St Catherine of Siena based in King William's Town, South Africa. Our Catholic heritage is the foundation of our school and influences all aspects of school life. As such, supporting our pupils to develop spiritually and morally is of fundamental importance. Prayer is a normal part of school life as is a focus on kindness, charity and religious development. Divinity (Religious Education) is a core subject alongside Maths, English and Science. All pupils sit GCSE RE.

Our focus is prayer and charity and we are raising money for two very good causes. The first is for CAFOD which is the Catholic international development charity in England and Wales. Cafod supports some of the poorest people in the world to help fight poverty. Our second Charity is the Heart Link Children's Charity which supports children with heart defects. It is based at the EMCHC at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester.
