Head Boy and Head Girl

Every year, the children in Year 6 are given the opportunity to become Head Boy or Head Girl of our school. Any children who want to be considered for this important role are asked to present themselves to the whole of school during a special assembly and to explain why they think they should be chosen. The rest of school then holds a special vote to select a Head Boy and a Head Girl for the year ahead.

Being Head Boy or Head Girl means that you are someone who truly represents the values and attributes of Sacred Heart. During the year, our Head Boy and Head Girl will represent our school at a number of events, including visiting other schools within our Academy and attending special events within our Parish or Academy.

House Captains

All of our children belong to one of four houses in school – St. Andrew’s, St. David’s, St. George’s and St. Patrick’s – and each house has 2 House Captains, chosen from pupils in Year 6, who help to look after the children in their houses and organise events throughout the year.

School Council

Our School Council has a very important job at Sacred Heart and play a massive role in improving our school. Our School Council meet regularly to talk about ways in which we can make our school better and help to organise events and activities throughout the year.

Sports Crew

Our Sports Crew are children  who help to organise and run a wide range of sporting activities within school. Their role is to support staff in making sure that all of the children in Sacred Heart develop healthy and active lifestyles.

This year, our Sports Crew have created a number of lunchtime challenges for children to complete and also help to make sure that children have the opportunity to play a range of games during their breaktimes.

Chaplaincy

Our Chaplaincy team help to lead opportunities for prayer and worship across the school. During the Spring term, our Chaplaincy team worked with Father John, our Parish Priest to lead a series of reflections on the Stations of the Cross for all classes and also helped to prepare our Easter Liturgies, during which the whole school shared the retelling of the events of Holy Week and the celebration of Easter.

Minnie Vinnies

Our Minnie Vinnie team is made up of a number of children throughout school and help to arrange any of our charity work in school, and often give up their lunchtimes to prepare for charity events. Most recently, they held a ‘chocolate tombola’ to raise money for CAFOD.
