From the Sacred Heart Catholic Voluntary Academy
The school's unique vision for the Sacred Heart Catholic School at this particular moment and location in Leicester is outlined in the mission statement. The assertion is true and derives from Jesus Christ's command to love our neighbours. Our community is open to everyone and exists to help them understand God's plan for us via education. The statement is routinely "unpicked" by governors, staff, and kids to explore the numerous problems it presents to all of us.
