The school is situated to the east of Bridgeton Cross, between Main Street and Dalmarnock Road, and adjacent to Sacred Heart Church. Our present school building, modern, comfortable, spacious in design, was completed in 1966 and formally opened in February 1967. It replaced the original ‘Girls and Infants School’. The building comprises an Infant Wing of four hexagonal-shaped classrooms the Administrative Block, Assembly Hall, and Gymnasium, and a two-story Junior and Senior Block with twelve traditional classrooms.

Learning is for Life and Sacred Heart Primary aims to help learners to develop the skills they need for learning, life, and work. The curriculum aims to help every learner develop knowledge, skills, and attributes for learning, life, and work, which are encapsulated in the four capacities.

• Successful Learners
