About

Sacred Heart School is a specialist primary and post‑primary institution dedicated to pupils aged five to eighteen who have moderate, severe or profound learning disabilities and autism. The school delivers a tailored educational experience that recognises each child’s strengths, talents and achievements, fostering a warm, welcoming and happy environment. Learning is organised in small, tree‑named classes (e.g., Hawthorn, Pine, Ash) which allow staff to provide highly personalised support and a rich programme of activities that develop both academic and life‑skills outcomes. The curriculum is designed to meet the diverse needs of its learners, integrating therapeutic interventions, sensory activities and community‑based experiences. A strong partnership with families is encouraged, and the school’s website highlights a variety of events and resources – such as a school calendar and regular celebrations – that showcase the breadth of opportunities available to pupils. By combining specialised teaching, a nurturing ethos and a focus on individual progress, Sacred Heart aims to prepare its students for greater independence and participation in society.
