Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Primary School and Nursery
Our Outward Facing School
We do all that we can to ensure that Sacred Heart is outward looking, and reaches out to other schools, organisations, the community and the Parish. We are always looking for new ways to develop relationships further and provide the very best opportunities we can do for our children and their families. Here are just some of the ways that this happens...
Oswaldtwistle Theatre Company - We have very strong links with this theatre group. They visit school to put on performances for our children which have included sensory stories for our children in EYFS and KS1, World Book Day activities and the Queen's Jubilee celebrations. The company support our Christmas Nativity performances, lead a 'Play in a Day' for our Y6 children as part of their transition work prior to high school and we also visit them for the yearly pantomime and drama events.
Inviting Other Schools to INSET and Sharing Good and Excellent Practice - Sacred Heart has been at the forefront of organising joint INSET opportunities with cluster schools and often leading these using our own staff expertise or inviting expert speakers. Please see the transition document below to read more about the opportunities offered to our children through our partnership with other schools.
Links to Mount Carmel Secondary School - We have strong and well established links with Mount Carmel Secondary School, who work tirelessly to provide so many curriculum and out of school opportunities for our children. The transition policy above details the effective transition process we have in place. Our Year 5 children enjoy weekly visits to the school to enhance learning opportunities across the curriculum and we take part in a variety of events including choir singing, sport, drama and curriculum quizes. Please see below for all of the many transition opportunities we enjoy at this fantastic school.
Accrington Stanley F.C. Community Support - Accrington Stanley football club provides lots of activities and support for the local community, not least the Year 3 shirt giveaway and stadium tour each year.
Involving the Community with the Defibrillator campaign - to help raise funds for our school defibrillator, we involved the local community who helped us collect enough money. With the support of our staff, parents/carers and our community, together we cycled the distance from Jon O'Groats to Lands End. What an achievement!
Supporting Local Food Banks - We support our local food banks throughout the year with generous donations made by our families at school. Many of our families benefit from these donations too.
Supporting Local Sports Clubs - We encourage our children to visit the local sports providers who provide out of school opportunities for our children, from drama to boxing and football to dance. We celebrate children's out of school success and achievements at weekly Celebration Assemblies.
CORAM Life Education - We use this organisation for a selection of our PSHE curriculum as well as the Life Education Bus which visits annually to teach parts of the Science and PSHE curriculum in a practical and exciting way.
