About St Mark's Church of England Primary School

St Mark's Church of England Primary School is a primary school in Farnborough, Hampshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. Around 106 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 65% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 21.0 percentage points compared with the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 34% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 12% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). St Mark's Church of England Primary School is oversubscribed: about 6 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 26 first choices for 15 places. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 10% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. 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.
