‘Pupils thrive in this caring school community’ – Ofsted October 2024

The Sacred Heart of Mary Girls’ School is a warm and caring learning community with a strong family ethos and a distinctive Catholic identity. Christ’s presence is at the centre of all teaching and learning and at the heart of all relationships and the school community has a great devotion to Our Lady who is our patron.

Every member of our community plays an important part in contributing to the spiritual life of the school through preparation and participation in assemblies, feast days, masses and liturgies throughout the year.

The spiritual life of the school is coordinated by our Chaplaincy Lead, Mrs Treacy and is supported by our strong chaplaincy team of 6th form students and liturgical representatives for each form. Together, they share a mission to keep Christ at the centre of our school community through our rich, liturgical programme.

‘Chaplaincy is viewed as everyone’s responsibility, therefore , the provision is dynamic and impactful on the lives of all the community’ CSSI December 2025

We also have links to our Sister schools around the globe via the RSHM Network.
