About Us

St Mark's Church of England Academy offers a commitment to high achievement within a community of care underpinned by Christian values. The Academy encourages the development of the moral and spiritual well-being of students, alongside their academic success. The Academy works closely with, and is supported by, its sponsor, Anthem School Trust and its key partner the Southwark Diocesan Board of Education.

Our vision at St Mark’s is to raise the achievement and life chances of our students and to serve our community by providing access to a range of activities, first class resources and opportunities. As a Church of England Academy, we encourage development of our students’ moral and spiritual well-being as much as their academic success. We are inclusive of all faiths, as well as none, and support unity between different religions, cultures and beliefs.

All our students are individuals and every student is valued for their uniqueness and the skills and aptitudes they bring to the Academy. A key strength of St Mark's is the very aptitudes they bring to the Academy. A key strength of St Mark's is the very high quality relationships that exist between members of a highly diverse school community- the Academy has a strong set of values shared by all. The Academy is situated in extensive grounds in a pleasant green field location with first class resources for success. Our specialisms in Science and Performing Arts support our students to develop confidence, understanding and skills in these areas and beyond into the broader curriculum.

Message from the Principal

At St Mark’s we are extremely proud to serve our community, offering academic excellence underpinned with strong Christian values.

I am extremely proud to welcome you to the vibrant, dynamic and inspirational community of St. Mark’s Church of England Academy. I hope our prospectus gives you an insight into the exceptional offer we have for students, which develops them academically, spiritually, morally, socially and culturally.

My vision is to provide an outstanding quality of education for all young people, dedicated to academic and character excellence, through the inclusive Christian values of love, hope and trust. I have taught and been a leader within the Academy for 12 years. Over this time it has been a place where I have been able to transform professionally and I want to afford the same transformational experience to every individual who works or studies here.

St. Mark’s offers a commitment to developing every young person holistically within a community underpinned by the ethos and teachings of the Anglican Church. Our mission is to nurture and empower every young person in our care and facilitate a real zest for learning that will enable them to strive for success irrespective of their starting points. Our unwavering dedication to this mission means that students consistently achieve excellent results, and many have gone on to study at the most prestigious universities in the UK, including Medicine at Kings College London, Economics at Warwick, Biomedical Science at Bristol and Maths at Durham.

Our students’ success in every aspect of their development is supported and encouraged by a dedicated and highly skilled staff, who give their time and energy unconditionally to ensure every St Mark’s student has the opportunity to excel. Through our ambitious and broad curriculum and in the vast range of extra-curricular opportunities, we are able to realise the God given potential of every young person we serve.

We truly are an innovative school in the way we develop and support our staff, specifically through the use of cutting edge research to inform our award winning continuing professional development programme. Everyone within the Academy is a learner and, together, we never stop striving to develop our pedagogy and practice to promote excellence within our community.

Our values of love, hope and trust “permeate through the school” (SIAMS Ofsted Inspection) and underpin our culture and ethos. As our most recent Ofsted inspection report highlights, “the Academy’s provision for the personal development and welfare of pupils is outstanding. It is highly enriching and supportive and focuses on ‘values in action’. Pupils are confident, thoughtful and articulate” (Ofsted 2018).

The best way to experience life at St. Mark’s is to visit us during a normal school day. As Principal, I am passionate about encouraging you to see our inclusive school, the wonderful facilities and to meet our exceptional students and staff.

I really look forward to meeting you all.

Ms. Hannah Fahey

Principal

We are the first secondary school in London to be awarded the prestigious International Values Quality Mark in recognition of the manner in which our values of love, hope and trust permeate all our work. ‘The school’s provision for the personal development and welfare of pupils is outstanding. It is highly enriching and supportive and focuses on ‘values in action’. Pupils are confident, thoughtful and articulate.’ (Ofsted 2017)

Part of Anthem Schools Trust

St Mark’s Academy Academy is proud to be part of Anthem (formerly CfBT Schools Trust), a multi-academy trust of 11 primary and five secondary schools in the East Midlands, London and the Thames Valley. Together we create ambitious and successful schools where every child thrives.

We are supported by Education Development Trust, an international education company that transforms lives by improving education around the world.

Anthem's multi-academy trust was founded eight years ago by Education Development Trust, an international company with charitable status that has been providing a range of education services all over the world for over 50 years.

All Anthem schools are unique, and each has something special to offer. This rich diversity is what inspired Anthem to change their name in the summer of 2019. They are no longer simply a ‘Centre for British Teachers’ (CfBT), but a place where everyone, wherever they are from, has an opportunity to learn and grow, and to be valued for what they bring to their community of schools.
