St Mark's Academy receives national recognition for performance

The award recognises that St Mark's is among the highest performing secondary schools in the country, based on 2023 performance data and information from Ofsted, putting it in the top 20% of schools nationally for student progress in the 2023 end of Key Stage 4 exams.

The SSAT Educational Outcomes database compares all state-funded schools in England. To be recognised with an Educational Outcomes Award is a significant achievement and a testament to the work of the whole school community.  

One of the SSAT moderators stated the following after his visit to St Mark's: “The climate for learning at St Mark's is extremely impressive. The team show an absolute commitment to meeting the needs of every young person. The values of the school are key to decision-making and staff talk about how they have a compassionate way of working with young people – creating a safe, happy and purposeful community.”

Hannah Fahey, Headteacher at St Mark's Academy, said: “I am absolutely delighted that St Marks has won an SSAT Educational Outcomes Award.  This award is a testament to our students, staff and the local community and how hard everyone works to make St Marks the vibrant, caring and successful school it is.”
