Sacred Heart RC Nursery & Primary School - Home
Welcome to Sacred Heart RC Nursery & Primary School Nichola Day Executive Headteacher / Designated Safeguarding Lead / SENDCo Welcome to Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School A very warm welcome to Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School – a joyful and nurturing one-form entry school where every child is known, valued, and loved. Our mission, “Everyone is Sacred,” is at the heart of everything we do. Rooted in the teachings of Christ, we believe that every child is uniquely precious and created in the image of God. This belief inspires a school community built on the Gospel values of kindness, compassion, integrity, forgiveness, peace, courage, humility, and justice. We are proud to be a Catholic school that welcomes all families — those of the Catholic faith, of other Christian and world faiths, and those with no religious background. Whatever your beliefs, you will find a warm and respectful environment where your child can grow, learn, and thrive. At Sacred Heart, we are committed to helping every child flourish — not only academically, but as kind, confident, and compassionate individuals. We want our pupils to reach both their academic and human potential, developing the knowledge, faith, and character they need to live life to the full. As a close-knit, one-form entry school, we provide a safe and inspiring environment where children are supported and encouraged every step of the way. With the care and dedication of our staff, and the strength of our Catholic ethos, we nurture the whole child — head, heart, and spirit. Whether you're a prospective parent, a current family, or simply visiting, we invite you to explore our website and discover what makes our Sacred Heart community so special. We would love to welcome you in person. Together in faith, we grow in love — because everyone is sacred. Nichola Day Admissions Safeguarding Term Dates Extra Curricular Activities Vacancies
