• Toe by Toe Intervention Training

  Fri 05 Sep 2025

  At Sacred Heart P.S., we’re committed to building equity and giving every child the chance to shine. This year, we’re continuing to develop our interventions to help every learner succeed.

  One of the tools we use is Toe by Toe, a highly structured, multisensory reading programme designed to give children who need a little extra support, the skills and confidence to become independent readers.

  Today, all of our amazing classroom assistants took part in training with Bill from Toe by Toe. They are now fully equipped to  continue to support our children and help them all make fantastic progress!

• Buddy Collaboration

  Fri 05 Sep 2025

  P1 had their first outing with their P7 buddies today down at the beach! The children had so much fun developing their fine motor skills and creativity by building sandcastles, practising writing their names in the sand with the help of their buddies and exploring the shoreline where they discovered lots of crabs – and even a jellyfish! 

  It was a fantastic day for both the P1/P2 and P6/P7 classes, not only building friendships but also developing their problem-solving and thinking skills as they explored and learned together. 

  A huge well done to our older pupils, who were so responsible, caring, and supportive throughout the day – brilliant role models for their younger buddies in our community of learning!
