What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 November 2023
The pupils and students at Sacred Heart High School quickly learn to be thoughtful, curious and confident learners. There is a harmonious atmosphere at the school. Pupils move around the building safely and politely. In lessons, pupils support one another by actively listening and asking questions. This means pupils can express themselves, take risks and develop their ideas with confidence. Bullying is rare. Pupils know that, should any incidences occur, their teachers will empower them and help to resolve them. This helps to ensure that pupils feel safe and are kept safe at school. Pupils learn to act as responsible citizens. For example, they raise money for charity and are encouraged to discuss and debate complex issues, showing respect for differing viewpoints. Pupils are aspirational and ambitious. For example, displayed around the school are posters of previous pupils and other women who have achieved great things. The Sacred Heart Goals outline the very high expectations the school has of its community. Pupils and students in the sixth form appreciate the help and support their teachers offer. They know their teachers go above and beyond to help them and, in response, they too surpass expectations.
