Academic Performance and Leavers Destinations
St Martin's Preparatory School celebrates exceptional academic achievements this term, with Year 6 pupils excelling in their 11+ examinations. A remarkable 91% success rate was achieved in the 11 plus Consortium Grammar School Test, while we have also attained a perfect score of 100% on the King Edward Grammar test. Pupils who took the Caistor Grammar School tests also received commendations, placing them within the top 25% nationally. These achievements reflect the pupils' hard work, family support, and the dedication of our teaching staff. Congratulations to all on their outstanding success!
"The achievement that she has had, the personality she has developed: it is all thanks to St Martin's Prep and its teachers. It has made her confident and intelligent to be able to tackle whatever the future throws at her."

For over 80 years, St. Martin’s Prep School has been renowned for preparing our pupils to undertake the 11+ entrance exams for Grammar schools. Our tailored 11+ provision helps each child reach their full potential and confidently prepare for Secondary School entrance exams.
We are very proud of all our children, we know that they have worked very hard from the moment they begin their school career at St. Martin’s Prep School to the culmination of this work and focus, the entrance examinations!
Whilst the examinations can be a daunting task for anyone, we believe that the process itself is a fantastic learning opportunity, preparing the children for the bigger challenges and expectations that lie ahead and we encourage our parents to embrace this time, to help their child with the staff to not only be prepared for the examinations but to do their very best.
St. Martin’s Prep School is proud of its approach to the whole child, we offer a huge variety of extracurricular activities. We proudly promote excellence in academics, sports, dance, singing and music. The school environment allows children not to get lost or to be just a number, they are all known by name and their individual personalities and talents are celebrated.
St. Martin’s Prep School offers children the opportunity to choose from a variety of schools. Each year most of our Year 6 leavers have the privilege of choosing from a selection of schools, no mean feat for anyone!
This past academic year has been no exception, our Year 6 children have done extremely well and we would like to share this success with you.
The final destination is one that is chosen with great care. St. Martin’s Prep School teaching staff work with parents in partnership, knowing the children as well as they do, as most of them have been at the school since they were 2 years old.
This has allowed them to grow and flourish, in the small, intimate school environment, strengths and weaknesses have been nurtured and assisted to enable the children, upon their leaving us, to be ready, not just for the academic challenges, but also the social and emotional ones that senior school inevitably presents.
We strongly believe that allowing each child to develop in their own time, right up until the end of Year 6, here at St.Martin’s Prep School offers them the best chance to not only be ready for Year 7, but also to ensure that the school they finally move on to is the best one for them, both academically and socially.
