Headteacher Claire Roberts welcomes families and describes St Mark's as a caring, family-focused school with a Christian ethos, a commitment to lifelong learning, an engaging curriculum, and a aim to nurture curiosity, creativity and resilience through to Year 6, guided by HERO values and the school’s Let Your Light Shine motto.
