As the Headteacher of Sacred Heart Catholic Academy, it is my great privilege to be leading a school where the holistic development of our pupils is our core purpose.

Our vision is to develop the ‘Sacred Heart Family’ and ensure that we are firmly placed as the ‘heartbeat’ of our local community.

  • I want to thank you on behalf of myself and my partner for the care and attention your wonderful staff have taken to ensure our son has had a seamless transition from junior to secondary education... We were extremely nervous about our son's move from the safety blanket of junior school, to the more responsibility based Sacred Heart. Our fears were unfounded. 

    He WAS a nervous little boy at the start of his first term, but I can tell you that with the support of the truly amazing Pastoral Care Team as well as the rest of his teachers, he has blossomed. He's a confident, maturing and independent young man who has benefitted hugely from the stable, happy and secure environment you have provided for him.

  • My son really enjoyed his visit and is so very excited at the thought of starting secondary school in September. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us around your wonderful school.

    As you can appreciate we are anxious to make this transition go as smoothly as possible for my child. The meeting with you has given us some comfort in knowing we have chosen the right school for him. Thank you again.

    PROSPECTIVE PARENT
  • This week my daughter, Year 5 at Ursuline Primary School, and I have had a wonderful tour of the school. The atmosphere far surpassed my expectations and staff were friendly, complementary and eager to make a fuss of my child.
