Transport to Saint Martin's
Saint Martin's Catholic Academy is situated in the lovely village of Stoke Golding, to get here however means that most pupils will require transport. If any parents or prospective parents need advice on this, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Walking
Walking to Saint Martin's - As a “Healthy School” we encourage local students to walk to academy where possible. Students are expected to behave in a responsible way and to observe road safety rules at all times. There is now a crossing next to the school for pupils going back into the village.
Cycling to Saint Martin's
Parents must request a cycling permit from the Academy before allowing their student to cycle. We are in the process of developing some bike sheds for pupils to store their cycles.
By Car
With the increasing numbers of students transported to Saint Martin's by car, we would urge parents to consider sharing lifts whenever possible. When collecting pupils from school, the car park is available for parents. The car park is supervised at the end of the day and there is an in/out system in order to keep the flow of traffic efficient. Many parents pick their children up 10 minutes or so after the bell which means they can usually drive in and collect without having to park at all. The care taking staff will guide cars onto the grass area when the car park is full. We are currently planning to extend the car park ready for later 2015.
(NB: The staff car-park is not to be used for dropping off or collecting students.)
