St Martin-in-the-Fields was established in 1699, and has a rich history of educating girls, an academy built on ‘Love and Learning’, We have seen through the years students who later went on to be pioneers in their field of work. Our motto is Once a St Martin's Girl, Always a St Martin's Girl. We are proud of the legacy our school leaves behind and in time to come the roles that will be played by our women of the future.
On 12th May 2023 we announced the closure of the school with Years 11 and Year 13 able to complete their education and exam in June 2024. There has been a significant decline in the number of young people living and going to school in Lambeth, meaning that we, along with other local schools, have seen our student numbers diminish in recent years. The number of pupils in Lambeth is not expected to increase for a number of years. Since funding for schools is awarded based on its pupil numbers, it was no longer viable for St Martin’s to continue operating as a school.
