From the St Mark's Ecumenical Anglican/Methodist Primary School
I am honoured to be able to welcome you to our school website in my capacity as the headteacher of St. Mark's Primary School. You can learn about daily life at St. Mark's and find a plethora of information for kids, as well as for present and potential parents, by navigating through the many areas. In September 2016, we joined the Bath & Wells Multi Academy Trust. St. Mark's Ecumenical Anglican/Methodist Primary School is the new name of our school. Our school's objective is to "assist youngsters in achieving their best on their learning journey," and our vision is to "let your light shine," which is taken from Matthew 5:16. Students report that they are proud of their school, that they learn with confidence, that they behave admirably, that they are considerate of one another, and that they consistently get above average results, setting them ready for the following phase of their educational journey. Each student at St. Mark's School will have a sense of belonging and value thanks to our Christian ethos and values. Hope, sincerity, friendship, forgiveness, and perseverance are our core Christian values. At St. Mark's, we value each child's individuality. While they are learning with us, we have great expectations for them in terms of creating solid foundations for their future selves. As one of our students recently put it, "St Mark's is a family of friends." Please view the brief film below to get a true sense of St. Mark's.
