About St Mark's Church of England Primary School

St Mark's Church of England Primary School lands exactly on the Stockton-on-Tees local authority average for Key Stage 2, with 66% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That places it 29th out of 55 primary schools in the borough, squarely in the middle of the pack. The top three local primaries — Wolviston, Egglescliffe Church of England and St Francis of Assisi Church of England — all score in the 80s or 90s, so St Mark's isn't competing at the sharp end of the league table. But it's a solid, consistent performer that local parents clearly trust: for 2025/26 the school received 65 applications for 41 places, with all 41 first-preference offers taken up, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.59. That level of demand suggests families see it as a reliable, well-regarded option even if its headline metrics don't dazzle.
