About Sacred Heart Primary School

Sacred Heart Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with every one of the 41 families who listed it as their first preference securing a place for the 2025/26 admissions round. The school received 60 total applications for those 41 spots, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.46, which indicates solid demand without being fiercely competitive. No parent survey data is available from the most recent Ofsted report, so it is not possible to report a recommendation percentage from families. The school’s Good rating across all categories in its 2022 inspection — including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership — suggests a well-managed environment. Headteacher Joy Agbonlahor leads a school that is slightly over capacity, with 445 pupils against a stated capacity of 440, and a significant 44.4% of pupils eligible for free school meals, reflecting the diverse community it serves.
