23rd January 2026 Newsletter – Disco, Parkrun, Careers Fair update and more
A few notes from Mr Applegate
- It’s been another busy (and rather wet!) week at St Mark’s. The children are working so hard, and we continue to be very proud of them. We can’t believe that half-term is only 3 weeks away.
- It was great to have so many parents attending the Papaya webinar on Tuesday. If you missed it, there are 2 more in February – details below.
- Disco – parents MUST book tickets by today, FRIDAY 23rd January – Click here This is due to organisational and safeguarding reasons.
Careers Fair postponed
Unfortunately we’ve had not enough take-up to run our careers fair, so have decided to postpone it to another date.

Year 1 have run out of spare clothing for their children. If you have any suitable activewear or underwear that you would be able to donate, please can you send it into one of the Year 1 classes? Thank you so much.
