The Governors employ qualified teachers, qualified nursery nurses and teaching assistants who support the children in the work planned for them by their class teacher. As well as classroom based staff, Governors employ administration staff, lunchtime supervisors, a caretaker and cleaning staff. All members of staff make a valuable contribution to the day to day running of the school.
The children are given the opportunity to present their opinions and discuss important issues relating to the life of the school, through regular meetings of the School's Council with a member of the Senior Management Team. Each class from Year 2 – Year 6 is represented by two elected members and the Staff representative is responsible for the co-ordination of the activities and meetings of the Council. A School’s Council display board is in the main hall, the members report back regularly to their peers and meet with Mrs. Cullen, the Headteacher at least termly to discuss issues.
At Sacred Heart Primary School we aim to develop important relations with parents, the parish and the wider community. We want all those who are part of our community and any visitors, to feel welcome and valued.
We encourage communication between home, parish and school. Regular newsletters are sent to parents informing them of school activities, policies and procedures. All policies and documentation are available to parents in school and may be viewed by prior arrangement. Parents are invited to contribute to the education of their child in many different ways. We are extremely grateful to all those parents who are able to give so generously of their time, helping on a voluntary basis with the many activities that take place in the school.
Parent Consultation meetings are arranged during the academic year, when parents are invited to visit the school to see their children's work and discuss their progress. Parents with a particular issue or concern are encouraged to discuss this initially with the class teacher. If parents then wish to see the Headteacher they should make an appointment.
Our ABC group lead assemblies and organise events such as Compliment Days and You Are Special Days
