The Governing body of the school is somewhat different in composition from that of an ordinary county maintained school in that the foundation governors (those representing the Church) must be in the majority.
The Mission Statement of the Governing Body of St Mark's CE Primary School
We are committed to positively and robustly governing the school, ensuring that it continually strives to create the happy, caring and safe environment that every child deserves in order that they can fulfil their learning potential. To achieve this we will accept responsibility for the positive contribution we will make as Governors by fully embracing and taking responsibility for our roles, by striving to make an impact, and by being accountable in the eyes of God, to our school community and those external expectations.
