CARITATE ET DISCIPLINA  -  WITH LOVE AND LEARNING

About St Martin in the Fields High School for Girls

"The motto of the school, Caritate et Disciplina - with Love and Learning, is driven by all staff in a common endeavour to improve pupils' life chances." Ofsted report, May 2018

Our aim is simple.  It is to provide an exceptional education for girls of all abilities where they are inspired to learn and are ambitious for the future.  It was the aim of our founders in 1699 and is still our aim today.  Our commitment to academic excellence and personal well-being is total. Our vision is to create a safe, caring, happy and inclusive community underpinned by our Christian values. We want our girls to shine and grow together in faith and knowledge, developing their unique gifts and talents both in the classroom and in the wider life of the school and beyond.  The students at St Martin's are at the heart of our purpose and vision.  They will be empowered to fulfil their learning potential because they are informed, ambitious, resilient; they respect and value education and being educated.  Our girls will fulfil their academic potential, but more than this, they will develop the skills, competencies and personal qualities and characteristics that will help them to be successful in the future in whatever route they choose to take.

A St Martin's Girl is articulate and charismatic, and will become:

  • RESPONSIBLE, with a strong sense of community, an understanding of the importance of courtesy,  appropriate behaviour  towards others and the environment.
  • CONFIDENT, able to think independently, confident in her academic and social capability and work within a strong moral framework.
  • SPIRITUAL, compassionately sensitive to the needs of others and self; instilled with a heightened sense of morality and culturally aware.
  • SUCCESSFUL, working hard, accepting challenges and being determined and scholarly, making exceptional progress.


Our motto, CARITATE ET DISCIPLINA - WITH LOVE AND LEARNING, embodies our vision and is timeless. Schooling, more than anything, is about achieving success and having a zest for learning with plenty of awe and wonder. Quite simply, St Martin's is a great place to work - for staff and students alike. Both academic and social achievement is supported, encouraged and celebrated.

The spiritual life of everyone associated with St Martin's is important to us; students, their families, staff, governors and visitors to the school.  As a Church of England school, we provide a learning environment where our Christian faith is lived out every day through worship, in our relationships and in teaching.  We are a caring and happy community where students find security, acceptance and an opportunity to develop their potential. In all that we do, we seek to show God's care for our students.  We value, respect and celebrate all cultures, all faiths and none because we are inspired by a welcoming, inclusive and loving God, seen in Jesus Christ and lived out through the Holy Spirit, alive in every person.

As a Church school, prayer and reflection are central to all that we do as they contribute to the spiritual development of the whole school community. We pray together daily and there are opportunities for Christian reflection outside collective worship.  We have a school prayer which we say together at the start of the school year, at the end of each term in our Church service and at special services such as St Martin’s Day and Founders Day. We also say the Lord’s Prayer and know that this is how the Lord taught us to pray.

Our focus is on delivering the highest quality all-round education for all students. Our priorities can be found here.
