Welcome to Sacred Heart R.C. Primary School & Teach Heart Alliance. We are part of the family of the Diocese of Salford , providing an education underpinned by the social teaching of the Catholic church . We are committed to ensuring that all children succeed through a broad and balanced curriculum.
Through Teach Heart Alliance, we work with partners to provide school to school support & leadership development, high quality CPD, and Initial Teacher Education. A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
Every child, parent, governor and member of this school community is unique in self, unique in 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.
