Sacred Heart Primary School is situated in its own extensive grounds off Old London Road, just above the picturesque Old Town of Hastings, and is the official primary school for the Catholic Parish of St. Mary Star-of-the-Sea, Hastings. The church is at the top of the High Street, only a short walk from the school.
We have our own Forest School area with staff trained as Forest School Leaders. We are in walking distance of the sea front and have staff trained as Wild Beach Leaders.
Formerly a private school for secondary age girls, the school changed in 1964 to a Voluntary Aided Primary School to provide primary places for the Catholic families of the parish.
With the support of the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton, the school has recently benefited from a considerable capital investment, enabling the building of a new school hall and the transformation of the existing hall to offices, a library, music, staff and learning rooms. The creation of a Learning Lab. offers new opportunities to the school and broader community.
Sacred Heart is a single form entry primary school, with an admission number of 30 and a total of 240 children on the school roll.
