A warm welcome to the new academic year – 2023 / 2024 

 Please click here for the Friends of St Martin's Welcome Letter for 2023/2024

The Friends of St Martin of Porres are a group of parents who work with the school to raise funds and arrange fun events for our school family. If you'd like to get involved, please get in touch. We're always looking for people to help at events, do admin, provide ideas and many other things. Just email stmartinfriends@gmail.com


All parents of children at St Martin of Porres School are automatically members of the Friends of St Martin of Porres, a voluntary organisation whose aim it is to raise funds to aid the running of our school. We have chosen a Catholic education for our children and part of that commitment comes with a responsibility to do everything we can to ensure that the school is well maintained and financially sustainable so that our children can continue to benefit from the distinctive ethos that St Martin of Porres provides.
