Sacred Heart Primary Catholic Voluntary Academy

“A community rooted in love, growing in faith and truth” At Sacred Heart, we develop a caring Catholic Community based upon the life and example of Jesus Christ, which embraces the lives of everyone and everything in our school. 

Our school motto is: What would Jesus do? Do what Jesus did! We encourage children and adults to reflect on their words and actions and to take responsibility for their choices. It is through Jesus’ message of love and forgiveness that children, our staff, parents and governors, preserve the essential Catholic ethos of our school. 

We aim to assure all children that they are valued, and they in turn are encouraged to show respect and value to each other and the community. This message is reinforced through our collective worship and Catholic Life within school. Our fundamental objective is to enable each child to strive for excellence and achieve their true potential within a happy Catholic environment.

 We prepare our children to take their place in The World as well-rounded and responsible citizens, with the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to contribute to the life and culture of society.

Our school is part of the Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Multi-Academy Trust which brings together the 36 Catholic Primary and Secondary schools in Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire. Our priority is to ensure the very best Catholic Education for all young people in our community, whatever their circumstances. We will achieve this together, through a strategic approach to sharing best practice, effective challenge and support from a central standards and performance team and opportunities for high quality Continuing Professional Development offered by the CMAT’s teaching school, The Nottingham Initial Teacher Training Hub.
