Sacred Heart Primary School is part of the Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust which offers Catholic education from Nursery to Sixth-Form through our family of primary and secondary schools including Trinity Catholic College. Pope Francis Catholic Multi Academy Trust was established by the Archbishop of Liverpool to provide the very best Catholic education for the young people in our schools.Clelia Merloni from Forlì (Italy) founded the Congregation of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Viareggio, Italy, on 30 May 1894. [51] Gallery [ edit ] Our school’s Mission Statement is at the heart of all we do –“Love of God, Love of one another, Love of our world, Love of learning”. Our school is a welcoming, happy school where people are helpful, considerate and respectful of each other. The children are very happy and enjoy learning. We are very fortunate to have such a dedicated team of teachers, teaching assistants and other staff who strive to ensure that every child is successful and equipped with all the skills they need to continue on their future learning journey. St. John Paul II, a great devotee of the Sacred Heart, said, “This feast reminds us of the mystery of the love of God for the people of all times.” We recognise the importance of providing our pupils with a broad and balanced curriculum and we constantly review and evaluate the achievements of the school. We aim to provide both high academic standards and a good faith basis. At Sacred Heart, we strive to achieve our aims through a strong partnership between children, parents, governors, staff and Parish. Bonaventure's Opusculum 3, Lignum vitae (a part from which is the reading for the Divine Office on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart) refers to the heart as the fountain from which God's love poured into one's life:

St. John Paul II said, “The Sacred Heart has given us everything — redemption, salvation, sanctification.”Pope Pius X decreed that the consecration of the human race performed by Leo XIII be renewed each year. Pius XI affirmed the church's position with respect to Margaret Mary Alacoque's visions of Jesus Christ by stating that Jesus had "manifested Himself" to Alacoque and had "promised her that all those who rendered this honor to his Heart would be endowed with an abundance of heavenly graces." [25] The encyclical reaffirmed the importance of consecration and reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The month of June is traditionally devoted in a special way to the veneration of the Sacred Heart. [30] [31] [32] Masses, novenas, and the recitation of devotional prayers in honor of the Sacred Heart are traditionally observed. Mechtilde of Helfta (d. 1298) became an ardent devotee and promoter of Jesus' heart after it was the subject of many of her visions. The idea of hearing the heartbeat of God was very important to medieval saints who nurtured devotion to the Sacred Heart. [16] Mechtilde reported that Jesus appeared to her in a vision and commanded her to love him ardently, and to honor his sacred heart in the Blessed Sacrament as much as possible. He gave her his heart as a pledge of his love, as a place of refuge during her life and as her consolation at the hour of her death. From this time Mechtilde had an extraordinary devotion for the Sacred Heart, and said that if she had to write down all the favors and all the blessings which she had received by means of this devotion, a large book would not contain them.
