The school works with Derby College and the alternative provider, Junction 16, to provide practical experiences and a range of accreditation. All pupils are supported by a statement of special educational needs or an education, health and care plan. The school is located on the Derwent Campus, on the edge of Derby City, alongside a mainstream secondary academy. St Martins has very recently benefited from the addition of its own new reception area, enabling easy access and egress and providing a sense of ownership for staff and pupils. Over half of the pupils are eligible for the pupil premium funding. The school is a teaching school and founder member of the Derby Teaching Schools Alliance, and the headteacher is a national leader of education (NLE). The school benefits from collaboration within the alliance and provides support to mainstream and special schools.
