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.
Sacred Heart school warmly welcome families of other faiths and none - our expectation is that these applicants are comfortable with supporting for the Catholic character and ethos of the school. We want everyone to feel welcome at our school and all our families say we wholeheartedly do this as do Ofsted.
