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 also warmly welcomes families of other faiths and none. We want everyone to feel they belong at our school and all our families say we wholeheartedly ensure this is the case as do Ofsted.
Sacred Heart School serves all the Catholic parishes in the area. These include but can extend beyond 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 surrounding parishes.
In recent years the school has been able to offer places to all applicants from all local parishes and local families.
Visits to the School are welcome and a tour can be arranged by contacting the school office on 020 8977 6591.
We look forward to welcoming your child to Sacred Heart School and helping them realise their full potential.
To apply to Sacred Heart School, you must complete the School’s Supplementary Information Form (SIF) in addition to the Borough's Common Application Form. The completed SIF and supporting documents must be returned to the school.
