About this school
Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School is a Roman Catholic primary academy in Hastings. It teaches children aged 4 to 11.
You can read Ofsted's latest judgement for the school below. Numbers and a report only go so far, so visit in person before you apply.
Ofsted judgement
Confirmed by a short inspection, not a full one
Ofsted's most recent visit was a short inspection on 20 April 2023, where inspectors confirmed the school remains Good. The school's last full inspection took place before September 2019, so its area grades are not part of Ofsted's current published data. Older reports are on the school's Ofsted page.
This inspection took place when the school was registered as Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, Hastings (URN 114575).

Results reflect each school's cohort as much as its teaching, and free school meals share is context, not a judgement. Small gaps between neighbouring schools are rarely meaningful on their own.
