Saint Martin's Catholic Academy

welcome

Welcome to Saint Martin's, situated in the historic and beautiful Leicestershire village of Stoke Golding. We were founded by the Dominican’s over sixty years ago and we continue our commitment to providing an outstanding education founded upon a strong Christian ethos and a traditional Liberal Arts Education for all pupils.

Our mission at Saint Martin’s is for to pupils to learn "The best that has been thought and said’ (Matthew Arnold) and to know they are loved by God." A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another” (John 13:34), combining our mission to educate children both in mind and heart.

Our aim is to provide children, from all abilities and backgrounds, with an ambitiously academic curriculum where all succeed through excellent teaching, uncompromising standards of behaviour and relentless care.

The motto of the Dominican Order is Veritas (which means Truth). The Dominican tradition is to teach “all that is true, all that is noble, all that is just and pure, all that is loveable and gracious, what is excellent and admirable” (St. Paul to the Philippians 4:8). Saint Martin’s therefore, a school in the Dominican Tradition, seeks to pass on to its pupils not only a high quality academic education but also values for living life in a way that shows respect for what is noble and true.
