Dear Parents/Carers,
With school now closed until further notice, I appreciate that we are all having to get used to a new normal.  School recognises that this is a difficult time for everyone and shall endeavour to keep you updated through emails and text messages as the situation evolves. 
Governors share your desire to minimise the impact on your children’s learning so we also encourage you to access the resources and activities that are being regularly updated in the Home Learning section of school website.   We are aware that taking on the role of home teacher can be daunting for some so work is ongoing to make this easier for you.  Please bear with us on this.
I am sure that you will join us in thanking all our fantastic staff for their hard work and dedication during this time.  I would also like to thank you for your encouragement, support and understanding throughout this period.
I wish you and your families much love and strength over the coming weeks and look forward to the time when we can welcome your children back through the school gates.
Your sincerely
Christine Kinnear
Chair of St. Mark’s Governing Body
