We are very sorry to inform you that Mr. Martin Rainsford has passed away. A man who led our school community previously not only with strength and vision, but with a heart full of faith, compassion, and genuine love. Many people have said that Martin was more than a headteacher—he was a source of inspiration, a pillar of kindness, and a true reflection of Christ’s love. Every student and colleague he supported, and every soul he encountered was touched by his warmth and sincerity. His presence brought comfort, his words brought hope, and his actions revealed a deep care for all who crossed his path. Staff and students alike found in him a mentor, a leader, and a truly kind person. Martin's dedication to Catholic education went far beyond duty; it was his vocation. He lived the Gospel with quiet strength and joyful service, always placing others before himself. His legacy is one of love lived out daily, and of a faith that left lasting footprints on the hearts of many. We hold his family in our hearts and prayers, asking God to surround them with comfort and peace. May Martin now rest in the eternal light of Christ.  Catholic Prayer for the Faithful Departed O God, Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, grant to the soul of your servant Martin Rainsford the remission of all his sins, that through our loving prayers he may obtain the pardon and peace he so truly deserves. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. We also pray for his dear family— that they may feel God’s closeness in this time of sorrow, and know that Martin’s legacy of kindness, faith, and love lives on in every life he touched. Martin, may you go in peace, good and faithful servant. You are deeply loved and will never be forgotten.
