The Dominican Sisters, who are the trustees, founded Saint Martin’s Catholic School. The school opened as a Voluntary Aided High School in September 1963. Prior to that date, it had been a Private School. The original building was adapted and extended to give the present structure set in spacious grounds.

We have benefited from re-development of the building over the years and have a dedicated Oratory on the site of the original school altar. Our Patron, Saint Martin de Porres, a South American Dominican Lay-brother, provides us with an example of dedication and generosity. His example also emphasises the importance of not being bound by national, ethnic, or cultural barriers.

In partnership with the Dominican Sisters, the Catholic Diocese of Nottingham and Leicestershire County Council, the school serves the Catholic families of South Leicestershire. We welcome students of other Christian denominations, faiths and families seeking a Catholic School education for their children.
