They sang songs, engaged in lovely conversations with the residents, and enjoyed some delicious afternoon tea and cake. We are incredibly proud of how they conducted themselves with such maturity, warmth, and thoughtfulness throughout the afternoon. It was clear that they made a truly positive impression on both the residents and staff alike. They really were excellent ambassadors for Sacred Heart School!

They represented the school with great respect, and we were proud of the way they took part in this important occasion. ![](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/images/news/thumbnail_IMG_8340.jpg) ![](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/images/news/thumbnail_1000048500.jpg) ![](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/images/news/thumbnail_1000048497.jpg) - [ previous](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/news/2025-05-06-nursery-growing-in-the-sunshine) - [next ](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/news/2025-05-09-y5-bushcraft-darwin-s-dragons) - [ Clubs and activities](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/school-life/clubs-and-activities) - [ Music](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/school-life/music) - [ Sport](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/school-life/sport) - [ Term Dates](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/termdates) - [ Open Days](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/school-life/open-days) - [ News](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/news) - [ Events](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/events) - [ Photo Galleries](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/photo-galleries) - [ After School Care](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/school-life/after-school-care) [![Independent Schools Association](https://files.schudio.com/sacred-heart-school/images/partners/ISA-Logo.High-Res.Vertical.jpg)](https://www.isaschools.org.uk/)[![Catholic Independent Schools' Conference](https://files.schudio.com/sacred-heart-school/images/partners/CISC_Logo_Colour.png)](https://www.catholicindependentschools.com/) ### Contact Us **Sacred Heart School** Mayfield Lane Durgates Wadhurst East Sussex TN5 6DQ Tel: +44 (0) 1892 783414 Registered Charity Number: 252878 ### Social Media [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sacredheartwadhurst) [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@SacredHeartSchoolWadhurst) [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/sacredheartwadhurst/) © Copyright 2016–2026 Sacred Heart School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.sacredheartwadhurst.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
