Welcome to Reception
I am Mrs Garrett, I am Early Years’ Leader and I have been teaching at Sacred Heart since 2019, when my family moved up to Manchester. At school I used to love writing, but I always thought I was bad at maths. Luckily, I had a very kind teacher who taught me to be brave and have a go during my lessons, and now I love maths! This is the best thing about school: being free to make mistakes, knowing someone is there to help you improve. In my spare time, I love to walk and cycle. I also spend a lot of time in the garden enjoying the sunshine and watching the birds. Like many of our children at Sacred Heart, English is my second language. Did you know that I was born in Brazil? I speak Portuguese and a bit of Spanish. How about you?
Hello, I am Mrs Bancroft and I have been teaching at Sacred Heart for many, many years! I expect I have taught your big brothers or sisters too! I love being part of our Sacred Heart community, it’s really such a special place.
This year, I am teaching Reception 1 with Mrs Enright. I also mentor our recently qualified teachers – I love both roles so much. When I am not at work, I love to go to the beach with my family and search for sunshine, fish and chips and ice-cream!
Sacred Heart is a wonderful school and I am so proud to work here.

Hello, my name is Mrs Enright and I have been working at Sacred Heart for many years now in the Early Years Department. This year I am working In Reception 1, alongside Mrs Bancroft. I am passionate about the Early Years and it is a joy to see children’s learning and confidence flourish. I am also the Music Leader here at Sacred Heart and can play the clarinet and piano. In my spare time I love spending time with my family, going outdoors and reading. I adore books and love reading lots of different stories in class to the children! My favourite subjects to teach are Literacy/ Reading and R.E.
I wanted to be a teacher since I was about 4 years old! I used to line up my teddy bears and dollies and take a register! My Dad and Grandma were both teachers too!
Hi! My name is Miss Ghafoor and I am so excited to be the Reception 2 teacher. I really enjoy working in the early years, having spent the past year working in a nursery. In my spare time I enjoy reading and going on long walks. I am so excited about the journey we will take together over the coming months!
