Sacred Heart Alumnae in the Houses of Parliament

As the State Opening of Parliament takes place, we congratulate 3 Alumnae from Sacred Heart High School in Fenham who take up posts as Members of Parliament in the North East of England. Mary Glindon (above left) returns as MP for Newcastle East and Wallsend, Catherine McKinnell (above centre) continues as MP for Newcastle North and is appointed Minister of State for Schools. Emma Foody (above right) is newly elected as MP for Cramlington and Killingworth. The map below shows their neighbouring constituencies which together form an electorate of over 225,000 voters.

Further south, Catherine Atkinson, an alumna of Sacred Heart High School in Hammersmith, has been newly elected as MP for Derby North.

Their commitment to public service is testament to the impact of a Sacred Heart education as we prepare young people to make a difference in the world.

Our schools and college are always excited to hear the achievements of their former students – please do share your stories with us!
