How We Shine Bright
Our school is a community that takes great pride in celebrating the achievements and talents of our pupils both in and beyond the classroom.
From sporting achievements and musical performances to artistic talents, competitions and community activities, we love to share and celebrate the accomplishments of our pupils. Whether representing the school, a local club or pursuing a personal passion, we believe every achievement deserves recognition.
By celebrating these successes, we inspire others, build confidence and highlight the diverse talents that make our school such a vibrant and successful community. We are incredibly proud of our pupils and look forward to sharing the many ways they continue to shine bright throughout the year.
Weekly Praise Worship
Each week, we celebrate a wide range of accomplishments through our praise worship, giving two children from each class a :shine Bright' certificate for achievements across the week, these don not have to be academic achievements, they could be for being an excellent role model, or being a good friend.
Alongside achievements in school, we are delighted to celebrate successes from outside of school, including participation and accomplishments in sports clubs, football teams, martial arts, dance, music lessons, drama groups, scouting organisations and many other activities.
MUsic Concerts
Children who have Rock Steady Lessons perform each term to parents and then the whole school. Children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 learn to play clarinets or trumpets, at the end of each block of work, we perform to parents. We perform throughout the year, particularly at Harvest, Easter and Christmas time.
Our Annual Talent Show
Each year we hold our St Martin's has Talent Show, where around 20 acts perform an evening show to parents. This is following a round of auditions and rehearsals to make the event really special. From singing to jokes, our children really do have it all!
Young Voices
In January 2026 we took part in Young Voices for the first time, visiting Birmingham Pulse and singing thousands of other children. We loved it so much that we are going again in 2027! Our choir is taught by a professional singing teacher, Megan, who supports the choir through other performances. This year we opened the Tipton Christmas lights switch on, we performed at Murray Hall and at our own Christmas Fair.
