St Mark’s Catholic Primary School Nurturing Hearts, Inspiring Minds, Building Futures

Governors

As of November 2025, St Mark's became a member of our Lady of Walsingham Catholic Multi-Academy Trust. The structure and committees of our Governing Body reflect the structure of the Trust Board.  The school has two committees of the Trust Board which both meet termly - Resources and Teaching, Learning & Standards.

Contact us via the school by e-mail: admin@st-marks.suffolk.sch.uk or in writing in an envelope addressed to a named Governor.

There are different types of Governors.  Foundation Governors are appointed by the Bishop and are always in the majority in a Voluntary Aided school.  Parent Governors are elected.  Staff Governors represent the interests of the people employed by the school. 

In many ways, our governors are the heartbeat of St. Mark’s Catholic Primary School. Their dedication, commitment, and unwavering belief in the power of education drive our school forward. They are the guardians of our educational legacy, ensuring that every child who passes through our doors is given the opportunity to thrive academically, spiritually, and personally.

As we celebrate the vital role our governors play in shaping the future of St. Mark’s, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to these selfless individuals who dedicate their time and expertise to uphold our school’s values and enrich the lives of our students. Together, we continue to build a brighter future for the generations to come.
