What are Year Representatives?
The system of Year Representatives works particularly well at our school. Any Sacred Heart parent can volunteer to be a Year Rep for their child's year. The role of a Year Rep is evolving to focus more on ‘pastoral care’ ie. connecting parents, buddying new families, encouraging parents’ to support in classroom and school activities, and coordinating social events that bring families together. Year representatives liaise with teachers and encourage all parents in the year group to become involved in planning and running events throughout the year.

Bus process
It is the child's responsibility to be in line for the bus on time. The parents should communicate with their child, how they are going home. The children line up for the bus in the Primary undercroft (click here to visit the school map). The teachers walk the children across the road to the bus stop. Once arriving at the destination bus stop, it is up to the parents to ensure they are on time to pick their child up, as there is no supervision and the bus driver is unable to wait.
