At St Mark's, we see ourselves as a family that nurtures, supports and values every individual who comes through our doors. Through strong leadership, high expectations and a shared commitment to lifelong learning, we create a caring environment where everyone matters and every child is encouraged to flourish.

We work relentlessly to provide the very best education and opportunities for our pupils. We are driven by a simple belief:

"We will not rest until our good is better and our better is best."

  7. Observe, assess and record pupil progress, contributing to Individual Development Plans and reviews.
  8. Deliver learning activities to individuals, groups and whole classes, adapting provision to meet differing needs.
  9. Lead the class team in the absence of the class teacher when required.
  10. Work collaboratively with teachers, parents, therapists and external professionals to support pupil development.
  11. Uphold safeguarding, health and safety, and wellbeing standards at all times.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
