Information on how we admit children to our school.

Admissions

At Sacred Heart we are committed to the achievement of every single child regardless of his or her ability. I am proud to say that our children not only develop a growth mindset but make exceptional progress from their starting points and achieve outstanding results. As a school we aim to provide and promote Catholic Education, enabling everyone to reach their full potential in union with God by “Growing Together, Learning Together, Achieving Together in Christ”

We truly believe that working in partnership with families is everything – when we welcome the child, we welcome the family. If you’re unsure as to whether Sacred Heart is the place for you and your child, please contact us and we would be happy to chat with you about what we can offer and provide your family as part of our school community.

Reception Admissions

The school holds an Open Day during April/May of every academic year prior to the Reception Admissions window opening (the portal usually opens mid September each year and closes mid January). For admission to our Reception class please keep an eye out for your local council’s deadlines for the current academic year.

Once Reception places have been offered we hold a parents’ meeting in the summer term to meet staff, discuss requirements and answer any queries parents might have. At present the vast majority of the children coming to our school are already familiar with the school and its staff by being in the Little Hearts Pre-school. Both sets of staff work closely together to ensure a smooth transition from Pre–School to the Reception class. The school also has very good contacts with surrounding nursery providers and parents can be assured that if their child has not attended the Little Hearts they will have an equally smooth transition to full time education. For more information take a look at our Reception New Intake Information Booklet.
