Learning opportunities are broad at Sacred Heart. Where possible, learning is based outdoors; children are able to enjoy outdoor play areas, an all-weather MUGA pitch and ​the possibility of running a Forest School is ​currently being explored.

The school competes regularly in Interschool sporting fixtures and in many regional and national tournaments in a range of sports including cross country, swimming, hockey, rugby, football, netball, cricket and pop lacrosse.

Children excel in art, music and drama, with many opportunities to perform both at school and regionally. As well as the usual curriculum, children are also able to learn French, Latin and most recently older pupils have an ICT specialist exploring coding and robotic engineering.
