7th July 2023 Dear Parent Carers, Weekly Update – 07/07/23 I hope this update finds you well. It has been an exciting week in school, as the students spent part of the week with the class team they will be with next year. Our new Year 7 students also came in to start their transition to secondary school – it’s times like this which make us realise how fast the time flies, and how much our current students have progressed over the year. Thank you for your support on Wednesday and today with the industrial action that took place in school. We apologise for the disruption this may have caused you and your family, but hope that this continues to raise awareness of the ongoing issues with government currently faced by schools across the country. We expect that there will be future industrial action in the new academic year and will continue to keep you updated. End of Year Reports and Parent Carer Evening End of year reports are being sent home with students in Year 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12 today. We hope that you find the report useful and informative. Parent Carer evening is being held on Tuesday 12th July. If you would like to meet with your child’s pastoral team to discuss their report, please get in touch. At Parent Carer evening, we are hosting a mini marketplace event to offer support and information – please see the flyer for more information. Diversity and Inclusion Parade To celebrate Pride Month, our neighbours Noel Baker Academy are having a diversity and inclusion parade on the morning of Friday 14th July. St Martins will be joining them as they come back onto the school site. To mark this, classes have created posters to identify and celebrate different cultures, beliefs, and diversity. This includes our diversity motto which was created by our LGBTQ+ student group in school: We are inclusive We are diverse We are accepting We are a safe place We are about the future We are St Martins Sabrina Hobbs Principal St Martins School, The Derwent Campus, Bracknell Drive, Alvaston, Derby, DE24 0BT Tel: 01332 571151 Email: admin@stmartins.derby.sch.uk Online: www.stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk The Shaw Education Trust Limited is a company limited by guarantee, registered in England (no 09067175) Registered address: Shaw Education Trust, Kidsgrove Secondary School, Gloucester Road, Kidsgrove, ST7 4DL.
