sacred heart of mary girls' school
It is with great pleasure that I introduce our school to you. The Sacred Heart
of Mary Girls’ School is a warm and caring learning community with a strong
family ethos and a distinctive Catholic identity. We were founded by the Sacred
Heart of Mary Sisters and the school has been on this site since 1930 and
followed in their Mission and purpose. We are justifiably very proud of our
wonderful school. We enjoy an enviable reputation and we have been rated on
three occasions as ‘Outstanding’ by both Ofsted and the Diocese of Brentwood
with inspectors noting that we are a school with a “profound sense of being a
warm and welcoming family”. The Sacred Heart of Mary Girls’ School is a Catholic
community with a strong family ethos and Jesus Christ at its centre. We expect
our pupils to work hard and always try their very best at everything that they
do. We will assist them, by providing them with the best possible learning
environment and outstanding teaching, in an atmosphere of order, discipline and
Christian love. The school motto, ‘Ut Vitam Habeant’ symbolises what we expect
from all members of our school. Our faith impacts every element of our academic
and personal lives and we expect everyone, adult and child, to ensure that they
learn something new each day, living their lives as Children of Christ. We seek
to ensure that ‘all may have life, life to the full’. Our school is blessed with
a talented and dedicated staff who work hard for the benefit of the girls and
this has resulted in the school earning a reputation as a well-disciplined,
caring but moreover, a happy community where pupils achieve well and develop
into young women who are balanced, confident and ambitious to succeed.
