Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School: Welcome to our website

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Our school is a big family with strong parish and community links. Care and excellent standards of teaching and learning are hallmark statements of our school. At Sacred Heart we aim to help children develop in their journey of faith in a positive learning environment and we place Jesus, His teachings and His values at the centre of what we do. We also believe that our school will make a valuable contribution to your child’s development. It is a secure and caring environment where children develop their many talents and we fully recognise the importance of educating the ‘whole’ child. Academic excellence for all children is one of our goals but we also seek to nurture those special gifts which makes each child unique. Home, School and Parish links are also vital. We value the full contribution to school life that parents make and the support offered by our local parish. Together, we ensure that Sacred Heart remains a very special place.

What should I do if I have concerns about my child's development?

If you're worried about your child's progress, talk to your childminder/nursery/pre-school team, health visitor, local children's centre or Family Hub.

If your child has developmental delays or SEND (suspected or confirmed), speak to their nursery, childminder, or health visitor/nursery/pre-school team well before they start Reception and discuss their needs when you are selecting schools.

You can work with your child's early years setting to help your child with self-care, managing emotions, social skills and communication in a way that suits their stage of development.

​You might want to share details about: their development, needs, what motivates them, what might trigger difficulties, how they learn best, and what strategies work well.

Make sure you share important information with everyone supporting your child, including their new Reception teacher.

Your child's journey to school starts at home. We understand that all children develop at their own pace, and that we're all learning from birth. When it's time to start school, some children will need more help than others.
