st. mark's community school
St Mark’s Community School was established in 1977 to provide a comprehensive
co-educational and multi-denominational education for the young people of the
area, an area which has experienced significant change, particularly in the last
decade. The school has successfully embraced these changes – both the challenges
and the opportunities. St Mark’s caters for the full range of abilities and its
culture of care has been officially acknowledged as one of the school’s core
strengths. It has a proud tradition of inclusiveness, valuing the many different
cultures from which its student population of over 850 is drawn. Over 50
languages are spoken in the school. St Mark’s has been recognised as a
Restorative Community, promoting pro-active strategies for the fostering of
positive relationships.
