Our Community

Our community is extremely important to us. We value all our families and celebrate the diversity they bring. As part of our catholic mission, we exist to support our community and to be of service.

We acknowledge the importance of a positive relationship between home and school in order to provide the very best educational development for all the children in our care. We therefore encourage parents to take an active role in the life of the school and in supporting the educational development of the children.

We appreciate working in partnership with parents as we recognise that parental support is vital in promoting children's achievements. We organise two formal Parent-Teacher consultations over the academic year, at the beginning of each term to look at what we will be focusing on as we learn over the term.

An annual report for every pupil is given to parents in July.

We send a letter to each family at the beginning of the term to inform you what your child will be learning and how you could support them. We also publish our full curriculum here on our website.

We are pleased to meet with parents at other times as appropriate - parents should contact the school office to make an appointment to meet with their child's class teacher. Members of the Sacred Heart team are on the gate each in the playground at the end of every school day and are pleased to meet with parents on an informal basis.

Our children understand that our values are important to our community and help to ensure our school remains a vibrant and happy place to learn.

Catholic Life and Mission

Every child, parent, governor and member of our school community is unique in self and has unique qualities to offer. All aspects of our School, the relationships, the curriculum, the policies, the aims and objectives, the pastoral care and discipline have the potential to speak of God’s presence in our lives, helping us to unlock our potential. The purpose of a Catholic school is to evangelise, to jointly ‘hand on the faith’ in partnership with home and parish, for the future transformation of society (the common good). Our aim is to support each child in their journey of faith, working alongside parents, the first educators of the children. We firmly believe that God is in all places and people, and that all people are our God given brothers and sisters. As a Catholic school we value the importance of the spiritual journey made by pupils, staff, parents, parishioners, governors and parish priest, with the school acting as a cornerstone.

Our Mission Statement

Everyone at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Primary School will try to make Christ visible in everything that they say and do. Our Mission Statement is:

'Let the love of Christ show in all that we do.'

Our Mission Statement inspires and guides every aspect of school life. It is regularly referred to  around school and is the focus for one of our daily acts of Collective Worship.

Our approach to developing the children’s understanding of their Catholic Faith is rooted in the 5W's of the Salford Diocese Framework for Review, Evaluation and Celebration.

Our School Values

A huge thank you to all the stakeholders who contributed to the feedback about the values we feel are important for our pupils. The twelve values we felt were most  relevant were:

Each week we focus on a specific value to help our pupils to gain a deeper understanding of each.
