Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made St Mark's CofE School their first choice was offered one of its 68 Year 7 places. After Year 11, 89% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 9.6%. There are about 12.4 pupils per teacher. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
