Schools with a Sacred Heart spirituality

Our schools and college are guided by our spirituality. Through them, we strive to make the love of Jesus real for our students and to encourage them to respond to the world’s joys and suffering with His compassionate love.

We do this by

  • providing moments of reflection and prayer.
  • gathering for worship, especially through the liturgy of the Church.
  • engaging with issues of justice, peace and the integrity of creation in the everyday, the locality, and the wider world.

Goals of Sacred Heart education

The five goals of Sacred Heart Education guide the many schools in our global network, uniting them under the priorities and the values that we received from St Madeleine Sophie.

We aim to educate the whole person so that each student is confident of their worth, mindful of the quality of their relationships, and open to actively living out Christ’s call to know and share His love. By living out these values, our educators can accompany students as they grow in self-knowledge, compassion, creativity, purpose, and conviction.

Our network

Each school in our network has a goals coordinator and some have a Chaplain who helps the school to embrace the Sacred Heart ethos and embed the goals into the everyday life of their school.

Conferences and events are organised for school leaders, goals co-ordinators, chaplains, staff and pupils, including the bi-annual ‘Heartfest’ in which the pupils from all our schools come together.
