Dear Parents and Carers,

It is with great pride that I welcome you to our wonderful school, where all staff and pupils aspire to achieve excellence in all that we do.

St Mark’s Church of England Primary School is a welcoming family school with a strong Christian ethos, a sense of community and a commitment to excellence for all children in our care.  We believe that we are an extension of the local community and believe that your child has a unique contribution to make, and we shall all find much to discover, share and enjoy together during their time with us.

We believe passionately that every child is entitled to a safe, happy, creative and motivating learning experience. Through Christian values of Challenge, Integrity, Respect, Community, Love and Equity we encourage the children to enjoy learning for life, to care for and respect each other and to take pride in all they do.

Teaching is a privilege and we take our responsibility seriously. We want to work with our families and the local community to give our children the best opportunities in life to be the very best version of themselves; to have the self-motivation and growth mindset that allows them to achieve whatever they set their mind to. By working together, we can promote success for all.

I hope this website will give you an insight into the life and educational opportunities available at St Mark’s Church of England Primary School for your child.

Mrs Clare Wright

"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it."

Proverbs 22:6

In a recent Pupil Questionnaire, the children were asked to describe our school in one word. Here's what the children think of St Mark's - as a staff we completely agree!
