Welcome to Holy Family Catholic Primary School
At Holy Family Catholic Primary School, our Catholic faith is at the heart of everything we do. Guided by our mission, “God in our Hearts, Love in our Words, Family in our Actions,” our distinctive Catholic identity shapes our relationships, curriculum, leadership and daily life. Our belief that God calls us to be architects of a better world inspires our commitment to serving others, celebrating the dignity of every person and making a positive difference within and beyond our school community.
As part of The Learning Federation Partnership of Schools, we are proud to share these values and contribute our distinctive Catholic ethos to a wider family of schools and nursery settings. Our Catholic identity is not only protected and celebrated within the partnership but actively informs and enriches our collective work, ensuring that the principles of compassion, justice, inclusion and the common good extend beyond Holy Family.
Led by Gerida Montague MBE, our highly experienced and nationally recognised executive leadership team brings together extensive educational expertise, shared ambition and a commitment to excellence. Each school retains and celebrates its own distinctive character, ethos and values while benefiting from the collective strength, experience and support of the wider partnership. At Holy Family, this ensures that our Catholic identity remains central to our leadership, decision-making and educational provision.
Our highly experienced practitioners are respected locally, nationally and internationally, regularly coaching, mentoring and supporting other schools. Through this work, we share not only educational expertise but also the values and principles that underpin our approach, helping to strengthen education and improve opportunities for children and families beyond our own community.
We are proudly Catholic, proudly Holy Family and proud to be part of a partnership where our faith continues to inspire, influence and enrich all that we do.
