Page 6 - St Mark's Church of England Primary School Prospectus 2019 to 2020

Welcome to St. Mark’s Church of England Primary School

On behalf of the staff and Local Advisory Board of St. Mark’s CE Primary School, may I take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to our school.

We all believe that a child’s education benefits from the vital partnership between home and school. To that end, therefore, we look forward to working very closely
with the families of all our pupils.

This prospectus is to help you familiarise yourself with the organisation, routines and aims of the school. I hope you find the information both useful and interesting.

All good wishes.

Mrs D. Hindson
Head of School
