With reference to the recent posts on social media with regard to a student at St Martin's School. 

I would like to assure pupils, parents and the wider school community that St Martin's is a caring and supportive school. We strive to create a learning environment where everyone can feel safe, respected, valued and confident that bullying will not be tolerated.

In this particular case we are carrying out a thorough investigation and we are also working closely with the pupil concerned to provide appropriate care and support. This type of behaviour will not be tolerated and there will be serious repercussions for those held responsible.
