Simon Marks is smaller than the average-sized primary school. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils is broadly average. The school is a diverse community. Over two thirds of pupils are from minority ethnic groups, more than double the national average. The largest group, apart from White British, is pupils from any other White background. The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities is slightly higher than average. However, fewer pupils have a statement of special educational needs or an education, health and care plan than is the case nationally. The school meets requirements on the publication of specified information on its website. There is a breakfast club, run and managed by the school, as well as after-school provision run by an external provider.
