17th June Newsletter – Friendship Form, Fundraising Update
A note from Mr Applegate
- Urgent – Please complete the September Friendship Classes form by Tuesday 21st June if you haven’t done so! (not for Year 6)
- Well done to our Year 6 pupils and staff, who have been on their Y6 residential week last week. They’ve been kind, polite and respectuful, as well as courageous in their activities. A special thanks to the staff and volunteers who made it possible.
- It’s a VERY busy few weeks coming up, with only 24 school days left and so much to fit in.
Update on our Fundraising!
A massive thank you for growing £420 into £7,428.67 through our grow a 70p campaign! Just amazing! Please do send any left-over amounts in asap. Well done 2BT for a 100% return rate!
We’ve had 2 offers of match funding, and if there are any more, that would be great! Just email us.
We have our 2nd workshop on Monday to help develop our outside areas, and will let you know the outcomes as soon as we do.

Foundation Governor Required!
We have a brilliant governing body, and have a vacancy for a foundation governor. Why not join us?
A foundation governor is appointed to the governing body to support the religious character of the school. In church schools, governors are guardians of the vision and Christian ethos, keeping it alive and ensuring that it is implemented.
Being a governor also involves meeting with other governors (12 meetings across the year), meeting with staff a few times across the year, and visiting the school to help us show we are doing all that we need to be doing!
If you are interested in finding out more, please email the office here. Or why not suggest this to someone you think might be interested?!

If you’ve got some communicty news you’d like to share, let us know.
The ‘Friends of St Mark’s’ (FOSM) was formed early in the life of the school. All parents are automatically members and our committee organises social events for children and adults and fund-raising events such as Key Stage discos, Easter Egg Hunts and Summer Fun days.
Over the last few years the ‘Friends’ have donated money that has contributed towards extra resources to benefit the children at St. Mark’s which has included playground equipment, books for the school library, and general school funds. We are now a registered charity, too. Charity number: 1188879
