This could not be a more exciting time to lead within the St Mark's family. Following our full graded Ofsted inspection in May 2024, St Mark’s CoE Academy achieved an Outstanding judgment in all areas of the framework. During the inspection, “pupils said the school’s values of Love, Hope and Trust are ‘not just words’ but are demonstrated by all members of the community.” Inspectors also reported that “working relationships between staff and pupils are warm, caring and respectful. This means that pupils behave exceptionally well and are very happy and safe.”
