Headteacher's Message - 21/11/25

We have enjoyed another packed week at school—again much to celebrate as the children immerse themselves in their learning and show excellent attitudes towards others.

This is particularly apparent, when children go off site for visits and trips - without fail, we receive comments back from members of the public or from the organisation working with the children about how engaged, kind and polite the children are. Although this is what we expect from children representing St Mark’s, it is a joy to see and hear.

Our value in focus for the remainder of this term is Compassion. The children have created a whole school Acrostic Poem showing what Compassion looks like in action, for us here at St Mark’s. We were inspired by Children In Need Challenge 25 campaign so we are challenging ourselves to see if, as classes, we can show compassion in 25 different ways through the week!

I wonder if you can spot some of these happening at home too?!

Caring for everyone

Optimistic and joyful

Making friends

Playing your part

Always have a positive attitude

Supporting each other

Staying positive and carrying each others burdens (coming alongside each other)

Interested in others’ worries

Offering your help

Noticing the need

 

Have a super weekend,

Mrs A Fitch and the Staff Team
