Dear Parent Carers, Weekly Update: 06/06/25 I hope this update finds you well. We are now in the last half term of the year, but there is still so much more to come! I hope our school community is well rested after the break and ready to enjoy the activities and events that mark the end of the year. As you can see, dates for your diaries are shared at the end of the update. As there are so many different events planned, please spend some time to identify which relate to your young person, and drop them into your calendar so you don’t miss out. You may also notice that we have included next years’ term dates so that you can be informed and organised around key dates. Eid Celebrations Today, some of our families and members of the St Martin’s community have been celebrating Eid al-Adha – a special time marked by reflection, generosity, and gathering with loved ones. We’d like to take this opportunity to wish Eid Mubarak to all those who have been observing this important occasion. It’s always a joy to see how our diverse school community comes together to celebrate and learn about one another’s traditions. Whether it’s through sharing stories, food, or time together, we are reminded once again of the values of kindness, respect and unity that lie at the heart of life at St Martin’s. We hope those celebrating had a peaceful and joyful Eid. Social Media Updates: This week, students from Horizons 6th Form have been on a residential visit to Manchester – we hope to share updates on their visit on our social media!
