About Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School
Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School is a primary school in Luton, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 383 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 50% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 17.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 103 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 11% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 26 Reception places. There are about 25.4 pupils per teacher. Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
