Background:

St Mark's is a Church of England voluntary aided primary school catering for boys and girls aged from four-11 years. It is maintained jointly by Hampshire education authority and the Diocese of Guildford. Although the main part of the building is Victorian, it was refurbished and extended in 1993, to provide a central resource area, a reception classroom and a school hall. The grounds of the school are small but have been utilised to give the maximum area of play, curriculum activities and relaxation. A variety of activities are organised for the children either during lunchtimes or after-school each week. These may include football, netball, cricket, table tennis, dance, chess, French and music lessons. It also arranges educational visits to enrich the children's learning experience. The school aim is to provide quality teaching and promote independent learning within a happy and caring Christian atmosphere; where each individual will develop a greater respect for themselves, others and their environment.
