St Martin's Catholic Voluntary Academy

Care more about grades than a child’s wellbeing, even if they are sinking, no support. By the time your child has sank they are happy to sign the paperwork for you to leave! Uncessesarily strict to the point of having my child’s bag fall over from under the desk and a teacher purposefully stamped over it in walking boots. With no apology, when reported was told to make sure your bag is under your chair!
Mental well being is more important than a grade !

The spirit of this school is amazing. The students are treated with respect and respect is expected of them. From the Head down, everything is about enabling the students to achieve the very best of their ability and all minor successes are recognised. Our children have and continue to achieve an all round personal development from this outstanding academy.

Mr Ben Dover, your statement that the students of our school are put under pressure to perform well completely over - exaggerated. Yes, the teachers push us and that's for a reason. Take a look at the OFSTED results and past GCSE results - You will find that they're better than most in the area. The pressure is there to push us to perform. Students that say "oh no there's too much pressure" are the students that can't be bothered and therefore don't deserve a place here. So, question yourself. If you're a student here, you clearly can't be bothered to do your homework so boo hoo. If you're a parents, I'm afraid your child can't be bothered to do their homework - boo hoo. St Martin's is a great school with great staff and students - the pressure you mention is greatly over exaggerated by either yourself or a child that isn't paying attention in class. Please keep your fallacious and slanderous comments to yourself. Your review is laughable because it's down to the student to respond to the education.

one of the best school's ever, it has facilities that are unseen in other schools.With it's headteacher Mr.clive wright and vice principal Mr.Carton . I would not give this school up for the world.

As the owner of a very well-behaved child, I am forced to give my honest opinion of this school. My child (The name of which should be unknown) walked into the school for another productive and hard worked day when she tripped over a stone on the floor and face planted into a puddle.

Due to my superior intellect I must complain about the school's services, I find it despicable that there is no stone security patrol on the school premises. Every pebble should be carefully inspected and checked if it may cause any danger to the environment, If this does not get sorted out, I am forced to go to the front gate and spit on the schools premises.

Kind regards,
The Stone Inspector

as a pupil of this school i know what happen daily, yes the car park my be a bit ruff but the school is on very tight budget and thinks it more important for a good strong education than a perfect car park. i would strongly recommend this school over redmoor as its better education and better behaved students. All of the teachers are kind and sportive, they are allway fair and are never unjust over all a brilliant school.

Eh the schools alright im currently in year 11 and feel injustice sometimes. But, the barbeque chicken is a work of art a needs to come back most of the food is pretty mid but they got some michelin star barbeque chicken. My past review has gone down the drain beacuse of this chicken. This is the exact reason me and the dinner ladies are such good friends!
However, im going to take one star off due to the chicken sometimes being pink.
kind regards.

Some of the teachers are awful, rude, and unreasonable. They don’t care about pupils mental health and well-being, GCSE results is on top of everything. Not recommended at all, I had to move my son to other school, my son feels much cared now. Hypercritical Catholic school！
