Head Teacher's Welcome

It is a privilege to welcome you to the St. Mark's Primary School and Nursery website. I hope that you will find this site useful in keeping you informed of all the exciting opportunities, events and learning that takes place, in school and beyond, in addition to providing valuable information about our school community.

We are incredibly proud of our school community and the excellent opportunities we offer our children. Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and challenging environment within the ethos of a Catholic school where every child can achieve success.

At St. Mark’s, we value the uniqueness of each child and aim to create an inclusive atmosphere where children are encouraged to discover their full potential. We are committed to fostering a love of learning and preparing our children for their next steps in education and beyond.

As Head Teacher, I am dedicated to ensuring that St. Mark’s remains a vibrant, supportive and loving establishment where both staff, pupils, and parents/carers work together to achieve great things. 

At St. Mark's we value the three-way partnership between home, church and school and the impact this has on your child's development. We have very strong links with our school parish, St. Peter's RC Church and Father Francis King, Parish Priest. The parish and its parishioners are great supporters of all that we do here, especially at the time of Sacramental preparation.

We also have very strong community links with St. John Ogilvie High School, our local primary schools and local businesses.

Here at St. Mark's, we aim to provide experiences that are imaginative, creative, stimulating and that give opportunities for success. Our staff are a dedicated team who work together to do their very best for all children in the school and Early Years setting. 

You are very welcome to our school/ nursery. We value and appreciate your continued support as we work together for your child's future. 

As you explore our website further, I hope you enjoy learning more about St. Mark’s Primary School and Nursery Class. Should you have any questions or wish to visit us, feel free to get in touch by contacting the school office.

I look forward to working in partnership with you during your child's learning journey.

Mrs. Colette Watson
