“Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” John 13:34-35
At Sacred Heart Catholic School, Christ is at the heart of all that we do. Our Catholic faith shapes the life of our school, guiding our relationships, our learning and the way we care for one another. We are a loving community where we learn, grow and flourish together in the light of the Gospel.

Our Mission
We love and learn with
Christ at the heart of all that we do.
We aspire for every child to become a confident, curious and resilient learner, rooted in faith and inspired to use their gifts in service of others. We help our children understand that they are created in the image and likeness of God and are loved, valued and called to make a positive difference in the world.
Living Our Faith
Catholic Life is woven through every aspect of school life. We provide opportunities for children to:
- Encounter Christ through prayer and worship.
- Grow as disciples through learning and reflection.
- Live out Gospel values in their daily actions.
- Serve others through charity, justice and stewardship.
- Develop as compassionate and responsible members of society.
Liturgy and Prayer
Prayer is central to our school community. Children take part in daily prayer, class liturgies, whole-school celebrations, Masses and special liturgical events throughout the year. Through these experiences, pupils grow in their relationship with God and develop confidence in leading prayer and worship.
Catholic Social Teaching
We encourage our pupils to put faith into action by caring for others and working for the common good. Inspired by Catholic Social Teaching, children engage in charitable fundraising, acts of service, environmental stewardship and outreach projects that help them become active and compassionate citizens.
Working Together
We recognise parents as the first educators of their children in faith and value the strong partnership between home, school and parish. Through shared prayer, liturgy, sacramental preparation and community celebrations, we work together to support every child’s faith journey.
Encounter • Discipleship • Missionary Discipleship
Our Catholic Life is shaped by the diocesan vision of Encounter, Discipleship and Mission. We strive to ensure that every child encounters Christ, grows in faith and is inspired to share God’s love through service, kindness and witness to others.
