End of Key Stage 2 Assessments (SATs) Results

We are really pleased with the results of Year 6 children in the national tests in English and Maths this year. 81% of children achieved Level 4 (the level expected) or Level 5 in English and 90% in Maths. 90% of children made the expected 2 levels of progress from Year 2 to Year 6 in English and in Maths. This is a vast improvement on last year’s results. Well done to all the children in Year 6  and the staff who have worked with them throughout their time at St Mark’s.

Summer Productions: Jonah and Bugsy Malone

This week has been a wonderful celebration of singing, dancing and acting with our two Summer Productions, Jonah and Bugsy Malone, going down really well with audiences throughout the week. We are grateful for all the extra work so many staff put into this experience and the support parents have shown. The staging is now packed away and things have returned to some sort of normality today !
