St Mark's Church

We are proud of the active links which we have with St Mark's Church.

Rev Nick Wells is a Governor at our school and is actively involved with leading whole school worship. We also work closely together as he support our school Worship Council leading acts of worship, including our annual St Mark's Day service on 25 April - the Patronal Festival of St Mark.

St Mark's is an all-age community of Christians from across Bournemouth and Poole who are seeking to follow Jesus in our daily lives.

St Mark’s Church has been here since 1870 and is a Church of England (Anglican) church.

In 1970 a more spacious porch was added to the church, allegedly so that brides could more decorously adjust their wedding dresses, but in 1986 growing congregations necessitated a major extension to the building.

A design was chosen that, although strikingly modern, fitted superbly with the original Victorian concept. The new design was built northwards from the original church and incorporated the chancel as a chapel.

The new memorial window, the warmth of the timbered roof and the gleaming brass of the chandeliers with tiers of sparkling globes are an inspiration to worshippers.
