Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School
About Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School
Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School sits in a Luton local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 62, but the school itself does not have published KS2 results in this data to compare directly against that benchmark. What is clear from the local context is that Luton has seven primary schools rated Outstanding out of 46 total, and Sacred Heart is not among them — its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, from 2011, gave it an overall effectiveness rating of Good, and an ungraded inspection in 2019 confirmed it remains Good. That places it in the solid middle tier of Luton primaries, well short of the top three ranked peers locally — Tennyson Road, Hillborough Junior, and River Bank Primary — but comfortably above the 15 schools in the authority that are likely rated Requires Improvement or worse. For a Roman Catholic voluntary-aided school with a faith character, this is a respectable but not standout position against the LA landscape.
