"A great school with room for improvement"
We've had a good experience at English Martyrs' so far, with my child excelling in certain subjects and enjoying the school's extracurricular activities. However, I do think the school could do more to engage with parents and keep them informed about their child's progress. Overall, I'm happy with the school and would recommend it to others.

"Excellent education and values"
We were part of the English Martyrs' community for 3 years and had a wonderful experience. The school's Catholic values really resonated with us and my child's academic progress was impressive. The teachers were always approachable and the school's facilities, especially the chapel and performing arts centre, were fantastic.
