HEADTEACHER'S WELCOME
As the Headteacher of Holy Family R.C. Primary School, I would like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome you to our school. We are very proud of our school and we are committed to providing an education that is rooted in the Catholic faith. We promote excellence in all that we do, encouraging all to value diversity through showing care, respect and love for one another.
With our faith at the centre of everything we do, our carefully designed topics are embedded with a social, moral and spiritual purpose and where possible, they reflect the cultural heritage of our pupils and also our locality.
We expect the highest standards from all our pupils in everything they do and the staff are committed to ensuring your child’s time with us is both happy, successful and filled with many positive memories. We value the support and co-operation of parents, and view the education of each child as a partnership between home, school and parish. By working together, we can achieve the very best for all our children so that they can progress academically, socially and personally to reach their full potential. We look forward to celebrating each and every child’s achievements with you in the future.
Here at Holy Family, we do not see any circumstances that should be a barrier to learning and progress. We hold the highest of expectations and work to support each child to achieve success, not only academically, but socially, morally, spiritually and culturally. As a result, high aspirations lead to high standards at Holy Family.
Our exceptional staff, visionary governing body and supportive parish of St James have together created the conditions for our children to grow spiritually and live our mission to ’learn, believe and seek to make the right choices as God's children’.
