A Word from the Head

St Martha’s Senior School is a Catholic Independent School for girls which welcomes all denominations, faiths and nationalities. It is in the top 100 independent schools for girls. The school places great emphasis on high academic standard and this puts us in the top 5% of independent schools in the UK for added value. A wide range of extra-curricular activities is available to the girls both at lunchtime and after school. These are designed not only to widen your daughter's experiences beyond the classroom but also to allow her to have fun with her peers and members of other Year Groups. Choosing a school for your daughter for the vital years of secondary education is an important and often difficult task, and so we want to provide you with every opportunity to visit and be welcomed by us.
