Information on how we admit children to our school.
At Sacred Heart we are committed to the achievement of every single child regardless of his or her ability. We are proud that our children make exceptional progress from their starting points and achieve outstanding results. As a school we aim to provide and promote Catholic Education, enabling everyone to reach their full potential in union with God by “Growing Together, Learning Together, Achieving Together in Christ”
We truly believe that working in partnership with families is everything. If you are unsure as to whether Sacred Heart is the place for you and your child, please contact us and we would be happy to chat with you about what we can offer and provide your family as part of our school community.
The school holds an Open Evening during September/October of every academic year while the Reception Admissions window is open (the portal usually opens mid September each year and closes mid January). For admission to our Reception class please keep an eye out for your local council’s deadlines for the current academic year.
Once Reception places have been offered we hold a parents’ meeting in the summer term to meet staff, discuss requirements and answer any queries parents might have. At present the vast majority of the children coming to our school are already familiar with the school and its staff by being in the Little Hearts Pre-school. Both sets of staff work closely together to ensure a smooth transition from Pre–School to the Reception class. The school also has very good contacts with surrounding nursery providers and parents can be assured that if their child has not attended the Little Hearts Pre-school, they will have an equally smooth transition to full time education.
