Welcome to our website
I hope it will begin to give you a small picture of our wonderful school, and show you some of the many opportunities available for our children and families. St Mark’s CofE Primary School is a small, family orientated village school in Kendal. We work in partnership with parents to develop a school where no one fails but rather, where every child leaves us having identified a talent, a skill, an intelligence through which they can become whatever they want to be. We have a strong tradition of celebrating achievement and encouraging children’s self-esteem and we have excellent teachers, teaching assistants and office staff who all work closely together. Our Governing Body plays an active role in the development and success of the school and we have a thriving Parent Teacher Association (PTA) whose members work extremely hard to raise money and to provide a whole range of social events for parents and children.
As a parent myself, I really value the opinions and concerns of parents/carers. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries, concerns or if there is anything I can do to help and support you with your child’s learning and school life.
Welcome to the St Mark’s family.

A curriculum underpinned by our Christian vision, ethos and values
Our curriculum is designed to enable all children to flourish as independent and motivated learners in a partnership between home and school.
Our nursery is on the school site, with a dedicated newly refurbished classroom and outside area. In addition, the Pre-school children are able to use many of the school facilities including the playground, field, outside classroom and garden and the school hall for PE sessions.
MOSAICS wrap-around care
MOSAICS is the name given to St Mark’s breakfast and after school club. This high-quality care is based in the school hall each morning and afternoon.
St Mark’s Nursery
The winged lion, symbol of St Mark, represents the strength we can all find in God combined with the potential to achieve great things and ‘soar on wings like eagles.’
