• Merry Christmas 2022

  Sun 25 Dec 2022

  🎄From all the staff at St Mark’s CE Primary School, happy Christmas 🎄

  Almighty God,
  you make us glad with the yearly remembrance
  of the birth of your Son Jesus Christ:
  grant that, as we joyfully receive him as our redeemer,
  so we may with sure confidence behold him
  when he shall come to be our judge;
  who is alive and reigns with you,
  in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
  one God, now and for ever.
  Amen.

• Staff enjoy a well earned shared lunch together.

  Thu 15 Dec 2022

  ‘The people who give you their food, give you their heart’… 
  the staff at St Mark’s took the opportunity to bring in a contribution to a staff shared lunch and what a treat it was! It was an opportunity to see everyone together (which rarely happens) in the staff room, chat, laugh and start to feel Christmassy after a busy few weeks. Thank you Mrs Routledge for organising it.

  We love sharing news with you all! so brace yourselves… 🥰
  Firstly, our Jingle Bell Jog raised a fantastic total of £398.12 and the kindness of our PTA will be rounding it up to £450. This will be added to Mrs Martin’s Go Fund London Marathon page, for Young Minds charity. 

  Then, we had our Christmas Fayre and this raised £425.57 for the PTA to filter back into the school to help towards supporting trips, equipment cost or anything that is beneficial to our children.
