The ethos at Sacred Heart is one of genuine concern and care for all. We want all children to achieve their fullest potential. Great emphasis is placed on all staff members knowing and understanding every child well, treating children with the utmost respect and empowering them to become responsible, confident and resilient learners in our team. Every child is seen as part of the Sacred Heart family and their well-being and achievements are paramount to every member of staff.

Our aim is to close the gap in attainment and educational opportunity between those children attracting pupil premium funding and 'others' i.e. those children from more privileged backgrounds.

Through our tracking systems and pupil progress meetings we ensure that children's progress is monitored carefully and that provision matches individual need at any given point in time. The pupil premium children are highlighted on school systems to allow careful monitoring of both individuals and the group as a whole.
