St Mark's is an 11-18, mixed, Voluntary Aided, Church of England secondary school located on the border of Larkhall and Fairfield Park in Bath, England.[3] It is a specialist Business and Enterprise College.[4] In September 2009, 282 pupils were enrolled at the school.[5] By May 2015, this number had dropped to 210.[2]

In 2010, Bath and North East Somerset Council called a meeting to discuss the future of educational provision for the children of Larkhall and the school put forward alternative proposals to its closure.[6] In 2011 the school formed a soft federation with St Gregory's Catholic College in Odd Down, and an executive head teacher, Raymond Friel, was appointed to be in charge of both schools.[7][8] The federation has built a new joint sixth form, The New Sixth at the St Gregory's Catholic College site.[9][10]

Achievements

St Mark's School received an ‘Ofsted’ inspection in June 2015, and was judged to be a ‘Good’ school across the following key areas: leadership and management, behaviour and safety of students, quality of teaching and the achievement of students.[11] Further to this, the school was also recognised as a ‘Good’ Church of England school in its most recent SIAMS inspection, under a new framework. The pastoral and academic support, as well as the small school ethos and value for each student were noted as particularly positive areas.[12]
