Values and vision
Holy Family Catholic High School aims to be a high-achieving school that provides a great level of support and care to each child, to ensure they are given the self-belief and self-confidence to achieve their ambitions. It is a large enough school to provide students with a high number of opportunities and learning facilities, but small enough to be able to cater to each child’s needs and create a healthy working relationship between staff and students.
The mission of Holy Family is to help children develop as well-rounded individuals with a strong faith and empathy for others.
Ofsted report
“Students achieve well, particularly in Key Stages 4 and 5. As a result, they are well prepared for the next stages of their lives. The new headteacher is building well on a tradition of good leadership. He has quickly inspired the school to be ambitious for further improvement. As a consequence, members of the school community are very clear about what they need to do to achieve this.”
