Understanding Our Results
At English Martyrs, our mission is to be A Learning Community in Christ, where every child is known, valued and encouraged to develop their gifts and achieve their full potential. We are proud to welcome children and families from a wide range of backgrounds and at different points in their educational journey. This commitment to inclusion sits at the very heart of our school.
We are ambitious for every child and work hard to ensure that all pupils make the very best progress possible from their individual starting points. Attendance is above national averages, persistent absence is below national figures, and Early Years outcomes improved strongly in 2026, with 72% of children achieving a Good Level of Development.
