• Parents Open Afternoon

  Mon 03 Feb 2025

  We had a great open afternoon after parents were invited to come to school and join classes. There were a range of subjects being taught before parents gathered in the hall to learn how RE is now being taught at St. Mark's. We shared the three strands of Living, Believing and Thinking before parents were served snacks and drinks by their children. This afternoon was so popular, we are going to build more into the school calendar.

  

• Grandparents Open Afternoon:

  Fri 24 Jan 2025

  We had our first Grandparents Open afternoon on Wednesday. More than 20 Grandparents came to see their grandchildren in class before being served snacks and drinks in the hall. It was lovely to see so many grandchildren looking after their grandparents in the hall and making sure they were well fed and cared for, Next week, it will be the parents turn!

  

• Inspire visitor for January

  Fri 10 Jan 2025

  Sophia Warren was our visitor in January.

  Sophia told us that she wanted to be a Social worker when she was at school but she was not encouraged to by her secondary school

  teachers. Sophia explained that when she was at primary school, her favourite subject was English.

  When she grew older, she thought she would go to University but instead, she took a gap year and went to work in a bank.  She started of as a bank teller but over the years, she was promoted to being a bank manager and also an area manager. Some of the challenges she faced was because she was a black woman working in Management in a bank and that was unusual at the time.  However her job also allowed her to get a mortgage at the age of 26.

  Sophia said the most money that she had managed was £1,000,000 for the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament. Sophia is now the Vice Chair

  Governor at St. Mark’s.
