Welcome to Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School
Sacred Heart is a proud, happy and culturally diverse Catholic primary school located in the town centre of Leigh. We have over 300 wonderful children from Reception to Year 6 in our school family, where Christ is at the centre of all that we do.
At the heart of our school is a deep commitment to our Catholic faith — a faith that teaches us to love one another, to seek justice, and to walk humbly in the world. But it’s not just about faith; it’s about community. This school is a place where everyone, from the youngest child to the adults guiding them, is valued for who they are. It’s a place where every culture, every background, and every family has a place, and where we celebrate what makes each of us unique.
Our goal is to ensure that every child here not only receives a high-quality education but also feels loved, safe, and inspired. We believe in building relationships — with students, with families, and with each other. It’s this connection that forms the heart of our school, where we grow in faith and knowledge together.
We are extremely lucky to have such dedicated and enthusiastic staff and governors. From our premises staff who ensure that our school is in immaculate condition; to our welcoming and helpful office staff; to our excellent teaching staff who want the very best for our pupils. Our children's safety is our number one priority. It is of paramount importance that all pupils learn in a caring, happy, safe and secure environment where they can witness a family that share the Good News and God's love.
Thank you for visiting our website.
