Welcome to Martham Primary Academy and Nursery!
At Martham, we believe every child deserves to feel happy, valued, and inspired in their learning. Our motto, “Inspiring successful learners, building character for life,” reflects our commitment to helping children not only achieve well academically but also grow into confident, caring, and resilient young people.
We see education as a partnership between school and home. By working closely with families, we create a supportive community where children feel safe to explore, take on new challenges, and discover their unique strengths. Our staff are dedicated to nurturing every child’s potential, celebrating their achievements, and guiding them to develop the skills and character they will carry with them for life.
At Martham, learning is exciting and meaningful. We offer a wide range of experiences that spark curiosity, build confidence, and prepare children to thrive in the future. Most importantly, we want every child to leave us with a love of learning and the belief that they can achieve anything they set their minds to.
We encourage visitors to come and see the exciting learning that happens in our school.
Miss Sophie Bugg
Head of School
It is a privilege to lead a family of schools, including Martham Academy & Nursery, within the Broad Horizons Education Trust.
At the heart of all we do is a simple but powerful belief: 'everyone plays their part in achieving excellence.'
Our trust vision is built on the idea that every child deserves the very best education, every member of staff has a vital role to play, and every family is a partner in our shared success.
We believe in aspiration, ambition, and opportunity for all – and in supporting one another so that each school, and each individual, can flourish.
Across our schools, this means creating safe, inclusive and inspiring environments where children develop a love of learning, grow in confidence, and are well-prepared for the future.
It also means working together. Pupils, staff, governors, parents and the wider community to celebrate achievements, overcome challenges, and never stop striving for improvement.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. We are proud of our schools, proud of our trust, and proud of the part that every individual plays in our collective journey towards excellence.
