    Create a climate in which Christian values are taught, experienced, lived, and celebrated. They are central to and are shared by the whole school community – the children, staff, family, governors, and parish. Ensure every individual is loved, appreciated, and affirmed. Enable and expect all pupils to achieve their true potential, by providing a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum with equal opportunity to develop their academic, social, creative, and sporting skills.
    Sacred Heart aims to give every child the firmest possible grounding in the core academic subjects. We aim to develop their wider interests through the great breadth of our curriculum. We aim to ensure that they move on to their chosen secondary schools with the skills, values, and habits that will enable them to thrive there. Above all, we aim to make education fun and to give children confidence.
    The education we offer boys and girls draws on the very best of both traditional and innovative teaching methods. Children are stretched by an academically demanding and exciting curriculum taught in innovative and creative ways where the focus is on children’s learning. They are given unparalleled access to a whole raft of other activities from art, music, drama, and games to gardening and cooking.
    The aim of all this is to broaden their horizons and to find something at which they shine. Having found this we celebrate their achievements and successes at every possible opportunity so that children’s enjoyment, self-confidence, and esteem will grow. Sacred Heart is a vibrant caring Catholic community where children both know each other and all of the staff. Assemblies, led by both staff and children, afford the time for us to think about our Christian responsibilities towards others and to celebrate both individual and school achievements.
    All this is designed to help us nurture and care for our children and for them to grow up to be confident and decent young people, tolerant of one another, and clear about both right and wrong. Life at Sacred Heart is busy and at the end of a full day and week, children return home having had the time of their life.
    British Values are in line with our Gospel Values! In 2013 the Department for Education said “Keeping our children safe and ensuring schools prepare them for life in modern Britain could not be more important. This change is an important step towards ensuring we have a strong legal basis for intervening in those schools where this is an issue.” “The vast majority of schools already promote British values. This is about making sure we have the tools we need to intervene if children are being let down.” Schools are required to actively promote and not undermine “British Values”. The government has set out its definition of British Values as democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs.
    As a Catholic School, we actively promote values, virtues, and ethics that shape our pupils' character and moral perspective, through the teachings of the Church. We are confident that our continued focus on the Gospel Values will give our pupils the necessary awareness of what it means to be a good citizen in Britain today, and embed in them the building blocks of a future successful and productive life. Through our RE, PSHE, and foundation subjects we can make real links between the values of our pupils and the lives of others in their community, country, and the world in general. Through our Creative Curriculum, we teach about democracy, civic responsibility, rules, and laws, the monarchy, equality, values and virtues, environmental awareness, and understanding of other faiths.
