Thank You

Thank you to everyone who came along to our Easter Fayre, the total amount raised was a brilliant £492.00. This money will be used by the Friends of St. Mark’s to subsidise trips etc., for school. I would also like to pass on thanks for donations given at our Easter service and for all the 5 pence pieces the children sent in during Lent. We will let you know how much was raised in due course.

Care In The Sun

During the fine and sunny weather, can I ask you to apply suncream to your child/ren before they come into school. Children are also advised to wear a sunhat/cap during the hot weather. If your child takes medication for hay fever, please remember to administer this before they come to school. Thank you for your support.
