May I take this opportunity of extending a very warm welcome as you consider St Mark's Primary School as the school for your child. I believe the primary years are the most important in a child's life and certainly the most exciting. The sense of wonder and discovery as a child sets out in learning is a privilege to observe and to be part of.
All schools are very different and choosing the right school that best suits your child's unique personality, interests and learning needs is an important decision. The team at St Mark's Primary School are caring, helpful and professional in their work and totally committed to providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice.
We aim to create a safe, happy and caring community where all children feel valued and special. Our relevant, balanced and rich curriculum provides the knowledge, skills and confidence that children need to reach their full potential and develop a love of life and learning.
