With strong Christian values at the heart of all we do, we 

I am extremely proud to be the Headteacher of our friendly and nurturing school, where we are committed to ensuring that we instill a love of learning for all our children, in an inclusive environment where children are encouraged to reach their full potential.

We are part of the Wessex Learning Trust, with the central offices based in Cheddar. Being part of a trust with most local schools enables us to work collaboratively to achieve the best outcomes for our children, while retaining our autonomy to serve our local community well.

As a Church school, we have close links with Holy Cross Church in Mark and our Christian values of Courage, Respect, Enthusiasm, Aspiration, Trust and Empathy permeate through school life.

Although we are small in numbers, we have some amazing outside spaces which we use for learning as much as possible, including two playgrounds, a large field and an outdoor classroom and pond area.

We are lucky to be supported extremely well by parents who form an active PTA, a team of Governors and our local community.

We would welcome you to come and visit us to ask any questions you may have and to meet me in person. The best way to find out more is to come and see us in action.

Please contact the school office on: 01278 641262 or by email at:office@markfirstschool.co.uk

We hope to see you soon!
