It is an honour and a privilege to lead Sacred Heart School. As headteacher, it's my responsibility to ensure your children get the very best education, and that's why I lead through the eyes of a parent. My philosophy is clear – if it's not good enough for my family, it's not good enough for yours.
That's why I ensure that the high expectations I have for my own child inspire every decision I make. We are delighted that both Ofsted and the Diocese of Middlesbrough have recognised Sacred Heart as a Good school. We are unashamedly ambitious for our pupils, staff and the whole community.
We are proud of our rich heritage and the school's tradition of academic excellence, combined with outstanding pastoral care. Sacred Heart seeks to give pupils the best possible start in life, enabling them to meet the challenges of the wider world with confidence.
We welcome students from across Redcar and the surrounding areas to a Catholic community that has prayer and service to others at its heart.
