Teaching & academics
Sacred Heart earned an "excellent" judgement from the ISI, the inspectorate's top rating, which speaks to the quality of teaching and pupils' achievement across the primary curriculum. With a roll of just 142 spanning ages 2 to 11, classes are necessarily small, allowing teachers to know each child well and pace learning to suit them.
