St Mark's Ecumenical Anglican/Methodist Primary School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 44 families put St Mark's Ecumenical Anglican/Methodist Primary School as their first choice and 76 named it as one of their preferences, for 45 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
First-choice demand has fallen from 61 in 2021 to 44 in 2026, while places went from 60 to 45.
Across North Somerset, 97% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 99% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in North Somerset lodged 22 appeals against primary school offers; 18 reached a hearing and 2 succeeded (11.1% of those heard).
