St. Mark's Hoodies.

Please note that St. Mark's hoodies are not part of our school uniform. It has come to my attention that they are available to order from Blossoms, East Kilbride. This has never been authorised by the school and, therefore, please do not order them. Our main uniform supplier is ScotCrest in Hamilton. Hoodies are only for Primary 7 which they receive as part of the Leavers' programme.

I thank you for your cooperation in ensuring children wear correct uniform.

Return to School - August 2025

Primary 2-7 children will return to school at 9am on Thursday 14th August 2025. Children should line up outside their new classes at this time. As always, parents are not permitted into the playground and must drop children off at the school gates. As this will be a busy time, please be mindful of the car park when entering and exiting. The safety of our children is paramount and I thank you for your cooperation. Please exit the car park as quickly as possible to ensure our Primary 1 entrants arrive at the school safely.

Primary 1 children must be brought to the Assembly Hall by their parents/ carers from 9am for a 9:15am start. Children will be dismissed at 2:30pm on the first day only. Thereafter, the normal school day will be 9am-3pm and children will enter and exit via their classrooms. Parents/ carers may enter the playground in the morning for the first week only and from Monday 18th August should be dropped at the school gate. Support Staff will be on hand to supervise and support Primary 1 children to their lines. Only Primary 1 parents will be allowed to enter the playground at the end of the school day to ensure their child is collected by their known adult.

Nursery children will continue to enter and exit via the nursery door next to the school office. Please note that the nursery day is 9am-3pm. Please minimise disruption to the nursery by ensuring your child is on time every day.

Our uniform policy can be accessed by clicking on the tab at the top of the website. A reminder that black is not a St. Mark's uniform colour. Thank your for your cooperation. 

Any queries can be directed to the school office on Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th August.

We look forward to welcoming our children and families back after the Summer break!
