Thank you so much for all your and the team's hard work and support in getting yet another of my children into our top choice of school
We are very thankful for all that you do to make the school and its community as special as it is for our entire family. Your guidance continues to enrich, inspire and educate every one of us and we know that we will carry these gifts with us for years to come.
Your guidance, love and care for our daughter has been so appreciated and I don’t believe there is any other nursery school that comes close to what you do at St Marks.
Absolutely amazing! We feel the whole team goes above and beyond to get the best out of the children. We have seen our son change from a boy that used to be a little bit shy and didn’t like to put himself in the middle of the group, to a confident boy that likes to talk to everyone and is not afraid at all to tell everyone what he thinks.
We think the communication between school and parents works perfectly. Even in times of Covid we have never felt like we missed out on any information.
Teachers not only have a passion for young children education but also manage to be extremely approachable to parents. This is just the right mix for the perfect recipe. There is nothing we would change; you are doing an amazing job.
Thank you for all you and the team have done to make the school a happy, joyful, safe place for our children through these recent times and for the sound parental advice. You have been ahead of the game throughout the pandemic and should be duly proud.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for looking after [our daughter], for always being so kind and thoughtful, for your patience and the quality of care you provide every day. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to you for preparing [our daughter] for this next chapter of her life.
Just a quick note to say how appreciated it was your card on Friday: [our son] is so proud of your words and he feels so valued in school, he’s really thriving and enjoying his time in St Mark’s Hall so much. We are appreciating all the activities, all the learning, and we are as always blown away by the level of attention that you and your staff offer to our kids.
You really are making these years unforgettable for them and for us all.
I just wanted to say a big thank you to the teachers for helping [my son] to make the sign on Friday to take to meet daddy at the airport! They were so excited to see him and it was a very sweet vision, [my son] holding the sign and them both running/ crawling to [their dad] as soon as he came through the gate! Really appreciate it!
This is what makes you special!
…We are sad that he will be leaving St Mark’s. As parents we could not have asked for anything better as a foundation that has been built so strong by St Mark’s which I am positive will catalyse his development at prep school and beyond that. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for nurturing and caring for our [children so] deeply. I wish you all the best and I am positive that teachers such as you all will bring the change that the world desperately needs. Thank you.
I just want to say how lovely Friday night was…
The children were so good, I couldn’t have been prouder of [my son] and it’s so lovely to see him up there with all his friends, taking part in something so special. He had his chest out singing at the top of his voice, he absolutely loved it! And to see them preparing to go on stage, that was really special!
So thank you from the bottom of my heart! St Mark’s is a really special place! Thank you to all of you for being so wonderful with our children.
just wanted to thank you for last night we had a great time and what an amazing performance you and the kids put together ! that was probably one of the sweetest moment I’ve ever experienced in my life.
We truly could not have asked for a better start to educational life for our girls and have always felt they have been nurtured and so well cared for – thanks to you and your truly wonderful staff…
Where do I begin. Thank you so very much for a truly magical three years. [Our son] has thrived and loved every day he has spent at St Marks and I am so touched and grateful. Your team have been amazing and we have had a fabulous time. Thank you so much for everything.
All my children have very fond memories of their time there and all the memories are very much linked to you and [her teacher]. You have inspired them all, shown kindness, patience and helped us all through the odd difficult patch. I believe the start you have given them has set a tone for happiness and excitement in learning. They all mentioned to me their happy memories of listening to you and your guitar, teaching them sports and always greeting us all with a smile and a firm handshake at the start of every day.
Thank you for all the incredible work the team at St Mark’s do. [Our daughter] could not be happier at nursery and [we] love to see how much she’s enjoying herself. It’s amazing seeing her confidence grow (particularly noticeable on playdates) and we just can’t thank you enough.
“Thank you for all the guidance and support offered to us all in the past two years. We will miss you all.
Thank you so much for all you do for [our son]. You are a special person shaping our little boy’s heart and mind and we really appreciate it.
We’d love to express our deep gratitude for being the amazing headmaster that you are: our future generation will be better, wiser and smarter if they have educators like you to guide them. And for us parents it means the world to have you as a mentor.
We are so truly grateful for all the love and care that you have shown to [our son] while at the school. It has all gone so very quickly and we know that he will treasure memories of such a nurturing school family. It has been a pleasure to come to school each day and what a foundation for [him] to now build on. We are also extremely grateful for the time and care you have given [us] – the whole experience has been a joy and we look forward to staying in touch…
I didn’t get to say goodbye to you all but just wanted to say thank you so much for all the work you do and [for] making your nursery such a wonderful place for the children, in all my 31 years of childcare I’ve never experienced such a loving, happy stimulating environment! …this will never be forgotten, he has enjoyed every moment growing with you!
Thank you St Mark’s for being [our son’s] second family and home…he thoroughly enjoyed every minute and day there. I admire all the efforts made to make all the kids so happy and feel so special! No words can describe how much we loved St Marks and how much it means to us, we were lucky to be a part of it.
Thank you for all the love, work and caring.
Thank you for all the attention, support and many hours of creative, fun, educational engagement. [Our son] has grown so much this year, in so many ways, and so much of it is thanks to all of you.
I am glad [the school trip] went well! [Our daughter] was super excited about the trip! I am sure she will have lots to tell us tonight. Thank you so much for organizing. This was a great idea and such a nice opportunity to discover amazing paintings. I wished I had had that chance when I was [her] age.
