Our Parent, Staff Association

The PSA publishes weekly updates in the school newsletter. They are always looking for new members so if you would like to support the PSA with their fundraising efforts to enable them to support bigger school projects please contact sacredheart.psa@gmail.com. If your employer offers matched funding or if you have any useful contacts with businesses or funding organisations the PSA would also love to hear from you.

Our School Improvment Fund

Sacred Heart is a 'Voluntary Aided' faith school, which means that the school community has to pay a percentage of the costs to keep our buildings maintained and up to regulation. Over the last few years this has included ensuring the fire doors met the safety standards and replacing all our lighting with LED lights. While some money is provided to the school from the Southwark Diocese, as a voluntary aided school, it is for the school community to cover the rest - which usually amounts to 10% of the cost of the project.  

Contributions can be made through the Arbor Parent Portal via the School Shop where you can choose an annual family payment (£100) or the smaller termly family payment (£35). If you prefer to make smaller payments throughout the year by standing order please contact the School Office for our bank details.  We do understand that it is a very difficult time for many families so the amount you donate is up to you and should only be to a value that your circumstances allow. 

The School is very reliant on the generosity of parents and friends to ensure there is sufficient money in the School Improvement Fund for routine maintenance of our school buildings.
