The 1820's saw the foundation of two schools at the Oval, Kennington. After raising the necessary voluntary subscriptions, the boys' school opened at the end of 1824 and the girls' school in the spring of 1825. The name proposed for the schools was the Kennington and South Lambeth National School, but they were soon referred to as the National Schools or District Schools, even the Oval Schools. In reflection of the close links with Saint Mark's Church, the name was later changed to Saint Mark Kennington Schools. The school is now known as Saint Mark's CE Primary School.

Records deposited in 1979 and 1983.

Records of Kennington National Schools, later known as Saint Mark Kennington Schools, including records relating to the management of the schools such as minutes of the Management Committee and correspondence; financial records; pupils' records including log books and admission registers and a history of the schools.
