Sacred Heart High School wins ‘New PTA of the Year’ Award

The Sacred Heart High School’s PTFA was completely defunct until November 2022, when a new committee of six, led by Sue Clancy, was voted in. Never did we think that only a few months later we would be winning the ‘New PTA of the Year’ National Award.

Since being elected, we have created an online pre-loved uniform store. For the first time, we’ve given parents the opportunity to get second-hand uniforms several times over a term, ensuring affordability so that every family (irrespective of their means) can have the full uniform without the financial impact of buying new.

We celebrated love for Valentine’s Day with a balloon sweet cup sale, creating an impressive display of over 150 cups. Recently, we organised a fundraising auction, canvassing all our amazing local community for donations, as well as families for personal pledges. We then put together a party (the first since 2019) attended by 120 parents and staff to close the auction. We raised £12,000 for Sacred Heart High School overall!

We have been thrilled with the Brook Green/Hammersmith community who have really welcomed the opportunity to support Sacred Heart. This
