"Great all-round school"

We've had a very positive experience at St Mark's. The academic standards are high and our child has achieved well. The extra-curricular activities and clubs on offer are also excellent and have helped our child develop new skills and interests.

"Mixed experience"

We were initially pleased with St Mark's, but over the years we felt that the school could have done more to support our child's special educational needs. The staff were generally friendly and welcoming, but we didn't always feel that they were proactive in addressing our concerns.

"Excellent School and Community"

We have been so impressed with St Mark's Catholic School since our child started. The values and pastoral care are excellent and the facilities are modern and well maintained. The Faith in Action programme has been a great addition to the school and we've seen our child grow in confidence and knowledge.
