HUNDREDS of parents and pupils flocked to St Mark’s West Essex Catholic School on Thursday night.

It was ständing room only when Headteacher Mrs Heaphy made her speech at the Tripton Road school.

After her speech, parents were taken on a tour of the many departments in the school which has just had £5 million worth of improvements.

A film of Mrs Heaphy’s speech is below. The film also includes lots of shots of busy and vibrant departments.

Plus: We couldn’t really make the Drama department piece as a silent cut-away, so here it is in full. Lots of great actors at St Mark’s.
