What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 May 2025
Sacred Heart is a school where being kind is the most important thing to be. This school is at the heart of its community. Pupils enjoy coming to school and speak excitedly about their experiences. Parents and carers are complimentary about the support their children receive. This is a place where everybody is included. Pupils recognise that being different is what makes someone special. Staff treat pupils as unique individuals. They understand how to motivate pupils because they take the time to get to know their needs. This makes pupils feel happy. The school has high expectations for all pupils to achieve well. Many do so in a range of subjects, because adaptations to the curriculum are now better supporting pupils to know and remember more. Pupils benefit from a wide range of trips and visits that support their understanding of the topics that they study. Pupils learn the importance of positive mental health and know how to access support should they feel they need to. Pupils benefit from the 'Romero Child Offer', with many learning how to speak confidently in public. Other pupils demonstrate their civic responsibility by organising and running events to raise money for charities and those in need.
What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that errors in some pupils' spelling, punctuation and handwriting are consistently identified and addressed. As a result, some pupils continue to make the same mistakes over time. The school should ensure that systems are in place to identify and address these errors effectively, so that pupils are supported to develop greater accuracy and expertise in their writing across the curriculum.
- In a few subjects, the school does not consistently identify pupils' misconceptions and gaps in knowledge quickly enough. This means that some pupils do not have secure foundations on which to build new learning. The school should ensure that checks on pupils' learning in these subjects support staff to check how well pupils have learned the knowledge in these curriculums.
