About Sacred Heart Catholic Secondary

Sacred Heart Catholic Secondary sits within Redcar and Cleveland's local authority, one of 11 state secondary schools in the area. Among its peers, it ranks behind St Peter's Catholic College, Freebrough Academy, and Rye Hills Academy based on available ranking scores. The school is a mixed, Roman Catholic secondary for pupils aged 11 to 16, with headteacher Louise Dwyer at the helm. It currently holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade that places it in the majority of schools locally — only two of the 11 secondaries in the borough have achieved an Outstanding rating. Sacred Heart serves 743 pupils, making it a mid-sized school in the area. Its Catholic character is reflected in the presence of a chapel on site, and the school's facilities include a swimming pool, music rooms, a gymnasium, and a sixth form centre, though it does not offer post-16 education itself. For families prioritising a faith-based secondary education within the state system, Sacred Heart is one of a small number of Catholic options in the region.
