Background of the School 

St. Mark's Church of England Junior School was founded in 1888.  Since that time it has been granted Controlled Status under the 1944 Education Act, which means that it remains a Church of England Foundation.  

The churches of St. Mark, St. Francis and St. Thomas, into whose parishes our catchment area extends, retain a strong interest in the school by appointing governors and demonstrating a continuing educational, and pastoral concern with the life of the school.

The Governors, Headteacher and Staff welcome new families into our caring community.  Our aim is to work in partnership with you for the greatest good of your child in all aspects of their development.  We are committed to offering all pupils a first class education which enables everyone to develop to their full potential.

Today there are approximately 340 boys and girls aged from 7-11 years divided into twelve single age classes.
