St Mark's Catholic Primary School

Welcome to St. Mark’s Catholic Primary School. Our school mission statement is:

‘Proudly and joyfully, we love, live and learn as God’s children’

Everyone at St. Mark’s is proud to be a member of our school community; a community that holds Christ at the centre of all that it does. We proudly live by our gospel values, rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ. We firmly believe Jesus Christ is ‘the way, the truth and the life’ and from his example we can live out our lives, fulfilling our God-given potential.

We proudly and joyfully put our faith into action and create change in the world for the better through the catholic social teachings that are embedded and evident throughout our school curriculum. We are blessed at St. Mark’s to have a very welcoming, caring and faith-filled school community that is diverse, inclusive and rich in love. We joyfully share our love with each other and remember the words Jesus told us; ‘love one another as I have loved you’.

Living together as God’s children, we love and serve each other, regardless of our faults or our differences.  We want every child to learn that they are capable of great things, and we want them to achieve academic excellence, in a community of faith. We want every child to feel prepared for their next phase of education, so that they confidently share their faith, their gifts, and the good news for the greater good.

We have 210 wonderful children at St. Mark’s, and we care and value for each one of them as individuals.

We are part of St Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Multi Academy Trust which is a growing family of 63 schools across the Archdiocese of Birmingham, united by a shared mission to deliver excellent Catholic education that transforms lives.

We are inspired by St Gabriel the Archangel and guided by five values that shape our culture: Confidence & Humility, Peace & Courage, Faith in the Impossible, Listening with Love and Service Beyond Self. These values drive our commitment to helping every pupil and colleague flourish within our Trust.
