Welcome to The Trentside Confederation!

Welcome to our school website. We are delighted that you have taken the time and the trouble to find out about our two schools, West Butterwick and St. Martin's Church of England Primary Schools. Both schools are proud of their heritage and all the staff and Governors seek to provide a positive and happy working environment where children are valued for their academic and social worth.

Our principal aim is to ensure that every child reaches their full potential and experiences a broad and balanced curriculum. We endeavour to produce lifelong learners who will relish the challenges that our rapidly changing world has to offer now and in the future.

Closely linked with the Church of England, our schools actively promote Christian values and involving the local community is an important priority to us. The school realises that it plays an important part in raising the expectations of the local community. We are constantly reviewing our position and aiming to develop our provision, all aimed at raising achievement and maximising learning. Gaining excellence is our constant motivation.

We are constantly striving to educate the whole child and give them a variety of experiences, so they can become lifelong learners. Being committed to constant self review enables us to continually put the child at the centre of the education we provide.

We are busy but friendly schools, with lots going on. This web site aims to give you a taster of the schools, as well as providing regular updated information for both parents and pupils. We hope that you enjoy your visit to our web site, and that you find any information you are looking for. Please feel free to leave comments in the Guestbook, or contact the school direct (details on the contact page) with any queries you may have. Thank you for visiting!
