About St Mark's Ecumenical Anglican/Methodist Primary School

St Mark's Ecumenical Anglican/Methodist Primary School is a state-funded primary in North Somerset, a local authority where only four out of 64 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself sits at rank 33 out of 57 in the LA's performance table, placing it in the bottom half of local primaries. Its top-performing peers in the area include Northleaze Church of England Primary School, Winscombe Primary School, and Tickenham Church of England Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. With a capacity of 420 and 396 pupils on roll, St Mark's is nearly full, and its oversubscribed status for the 2025/26 intake — 100 applications for 60 places, with 58 first-preference offers — confirms its popularity among local families.
