In St Mark's Primary School and Nursery, we pride ourselves on our school vision,  values and aim.  Our vision: Together we are FAMILY underpin verything we do and are very much part of our school ethos.  We are esoecially proud of our school values which are at the core of our St Mark's ethos.

Faith Achieving Mutual Respect Including Love Yearning for Success 

In May 2025, through consultation with staff, pupils and parents, we agreed on the values most important to us.  From this we shaped our vision and aims.  Our vision is encompassed by our statement, 'Together we are FAMILY'.  We have Pupil of the Week certificates awards where we recognise pupil's achievements linked to the four capacities of the Curriculum for Excellence and our St Mark's values.  We also celebrate pupil achievement during FAMILY Friday which takes place every Friday afternoon where pupils enjoy play, arts and crafts and sports as a reward for promoting our school values.
