St Mark’s has been on an amazing journey of improvement since joining the Midsomer Norton Schools’ Partnership. The school is categorised as a ‘Good’ school by OFSTED and also by SIAMS; both inspections validated the wonderful work of the St Mark’s staff team. The school’s vision is geared around inspiring students to achieve their goals; our Year 11 Class of 2023 have proved, unequivocally, that St Mark’s supports students to achieve the very best exam results across all academic subjects.
The school’s Headteacher, Barnaby Ash, commented, “We are immensely proud of our Year 11 students’ record breaking achievements. I would like to thank all of our staff for their hard work with the students throughout their time at the school; they have been incredible in inspiring and supporting them to achieve the school’s best ever set of GCSE grades. Given the students’ mindsets, we know that they will go on and achieve great things in the future. Our Class of 2023 deserve great credit for their remarkable achievements.”
