About the school
“St Madeleine Sophie Barat, the foundress of the Sacred Heart Schools in 1800, said that she would have founded the Society of the Sacred Heart 'for the sake of one child' and in many ways, this simple statement is still relevant in our school today.”
Established school - open since before 2011. Became an academy in December 2011, continuing the school that was already there.
