Sacred Heart School is a single form entry, voluntary aided Catholic Primary school. It has 30 places in Reception, 26 in Nursery and is situated in the heart of Teddington. Catholic spirituality is central to every aspect of school life and our pupils grow and develop in God's love. In a recent OFSTED inspection, March 2017, the school was recognised for the 'bespoke provision' it provides for its pupils.
Sacred Heart School serves all the Catholic parishes in the area. These include Sacred Heart (Teddington), St Francis de Sales (Hampton Hill), St Theodore's (Hampton) and St Margaret's (East Twickenham). Applications are warmly invited from Catholic families in all these parishes. Additionally, applicants to Sacred Heart school are warmly welcome from families of other faiths and none - our expectation is that these applicant are comfortable with and to support for the Catholic character and ethos of the school.
In recent years the school has been able to offer places to all applicants from all local parishes and beyond.
