About St Mark's School, Bath
St Mark’s School, Bath, seeks to provide excellence in education as a mixed comprehensive school.
“Our vision is to promote self-worth that inspires our students to live well, achieve their goals and be a force for good in their school and in the world.”We achieve this through our dynamic curriculum, our careers and aspirations programme and extensive enrichment opportunities, encouraging our young people to thrive as principled, well-rounded young men and women and to be the best they can be in all that they do – “Let your light shine” (Matthew 5:16).
The school converted to an academy on 1st May 2020 and joined the The Midsomer Norton Schools’ Partnership Trust. The MNSP is a multi-academy trust consisting of seven Secondary Schools, including another secondary school located in Bath (Beechen Cliff School) and sixteen Primary Schools.
We continue to build on our successes and progress as a member of the Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership. This group of schools work together as a Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) across county boundaries and have thrived via this partnership. St Mark’s School benefits from the sharing of expertise and resources along with other schools in the MAT.
The school has undergone some significant refurbishment recently as part of an ongoing programme to ensure the school is an inspiring environment, with modern facilities, to support high quality learning. Teaching is enhanced through collaborative working to share best practise, allowing students to access new activities and events across the MAT partnership.
We enjoy strong partnerships with local businesses, charities and universities that help promote students’ personal development.
We are committed to educating and developing young people spiritually, morally, socially and culturally, as well as academically. Everything we do is underpinned by our Christian ethos and core values of Aspiration, Resilience and Community.
Our desire to inspire all students is extended through our post-16 provision, The New Sixth, as a platform for future success in higher education and the workplace.
Our website will provide you with a flavour of the vibrancy of our school and the expectations that we have for our students. To find out more see www.st-marks.org.uk
