English Martyrs Catholic School and Sixth Form College
Welcome to English Martyrs Catholic School and Sixth Form College
Leaving school and starting college can be both an exciting but also daunting experience.Here at English Martyrs we hope that we can ease that transition and provide you with the help, support and results that you need to continue onto the next stage of your lives - whether that be pursuing a degree at university, an apprenticeship or moving straight into employment.We have students who study with us from all over the North East and we are very proud of the sense of community and ‘family’ spirit that we have established here. We believe that our pastoral and academic support, from a range of specialist staff, is second to none and is one of the reasons why our students are so successful in their college studies and in the world beyond.We look forward to meeting and working with you.Mrs L Henderson - Director of Sixth Form
