Our school vision is based on Matthew 5: 14-16 by being a light and bringing out the God-colours in the world; being generous with our lives, opening up to others and prompting people to open up with God. This is the driver of everything we do as a school.

At St Mark’s CofE Primary School, we are strongly committed to developing children as Global Citizens who actively engage in activities to bring about positive social change. Through our carefully planned curriculum, and our newly developed Collective Worship programme, all staff members take every opportunity to advance the children’s understanding of Global citizenship and courageous advocacy whilst treating all people with dignity and respect.

We aim to explore similarities, differences and connections between people and communities across the globe, exploring themes of injustice, climate and poverty locally, nationally and globally.

“Education for global citizenship helps enable young people to develop the core competencies which allow them to actively engage with the world, and help to make it a more just and sustainable place.”
