At Sacred Heart, we are committed to ensuring every child receives the support they need to thrive. Over the last two weeks, our leadership team have been working closely with class teachers to develop brand new Support Plans and Behaviour Plans for pupils with additional needs.
As part of this process, we’ll be reaching out to parents and carers to gather your valuable insights and ensure your voice is reflected in your child's plan. Once finalised, you’ll receive a copy outlining the specific provisions in place to support your child in class.
We look forward to working in partnership with you to create a learning environment where every child feels understood, supported, and empowered."
We will shortly be able to share the following new school policies that are currently being viewed by our Governing Body:
- Behaviour Policy
- Safeguarding Policy
- Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Policy and 2025 Information Report

Secret Students
A student is chosen anonymously and randomly at the start of each school day. The class teacher will then monitor the positive behaviour of the secret student throughout the day and that student is named if they have demonstrated our school values throughout the day.
The secret students who were celebrated in our celebration assembly this week were:
Year 1/2 – Theo, Oliver and Skoll
Year 3/4 - Layla-Jo and Mia
Year 5/6 – Maryanne and Thomas
Well done to you all for demonstrating good, positive behaviours.
Examples of good work
