St Mark's Catholic School is leading State Secondary school for kids age 11 to 18 years (Gender - Mixed)
St. Mark’s Catholic School is founded on the Christian values, expressed in the gospels: peace, truth, justice and love. These values underpin everything that they do within the school and they unite them as a Christian community. They view each person as special and unique and the highly professional staff is dedicated to ensuring that every pupil fulfils their God given potential. St. Mark’s is a truly inclusive community and they celebrate the pupils’ achievements, together with providing outstanding pastoral support. The thriving Sixth Form greatly enhances the character of the school. The majority of our Year 11 pupils continue their Sixth Form studies with them and this is a testament to the very positive pupil-teacher relationships which are established at St. Mark’s. The curriculum is challenging and enriching, and the excellent results achieved by the pupils enables them to access some of the best universities including Oxbridge
