I joined the Local Advisory Board (LAB) of St Mark's C.E Primary School in early 2024 and am privileged to be the Chair. I would like to welcome you, and your child, to our school, where I hope they will have a happy and successful time. St Mark's is part of the One Excellence Multi Academy Trust, a collaboration of schools all with the same aim of excellence for all.
At St Mark's we also have a very clear vision for your child and pride ourselves on this – Everyone Welcomed. Everyone Included. Everyone Belongs. As a LAB we strive to support the school so that our pupils have the best possible outcomes. We have a range of backgrounds and interests and meet termly to support the staff and pupils.
