Welcome to Catholic Life at Holy Family

Scroll below to celebrate many of the elements which make our Catholic school so special, including:

Our Catholic Life and Mission

“God in our Hearts, Love in our Words, Family in our Actions.”

Our Catholic faith is at the heart of everything we do. Guided by the teachings of Jesus and rooted in Gospel values, we strive to create a loving, inclusive community where every child is valued, nurtured and inspired to make a positive difference in the world.

Our children know and understand our mission through the words “God in our Hearts, Love in our Words, Family in our Actions.” These words guide how we treat one another, celebrate our faith and care for our wider community. Through prayer, worship, Religious Education and Catholic Social Teaching, we encourage our children to put their faith into action and recognise that God calls each of us to be architects of a better world.

We work closely with our families and parish to nurture children's spiritual development, deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith and celebrate the richness of our traditions, whilst welcoming and valuing the diversity of our school community.

These pages offer a glimpse into our Catholic life, including celebrations of Mass, prayer and reflection, Religious Education, pupil chaplaincy, charitable activities and the many ways our children live out our mission. You will also find opportunities and inspiration to support prayer and faith at home.

“Let us love, not just with words, but with actions.” — 1 John 3:18

Prayer and Liturgical Life

Prayer and worship are at the heart of our Catholic school community. Rooted in our mission, “God in our Hearts, Love in our Words, Family in our Actions,” we encourage every child to develop a personal relationship with God and to recognise His presence in their everyday lives.

Our rich prayer and liturgical life provides opportunities for children to experience faith in meaningful, joyful and reflective ways. Through daily prayer, Celebration of the Word, Mass, scripture, music and the traditions of the Church, children grow in their understanding of the Catholic faith and their place within God's family.

Children are encouraged to take an active role in preparing and leading prayer and worship, developing confidence, reverence and a sense of belonging. We celebrate the seasons of the liturgical year together, strengthening our connection with our parish, families and wider Catholic community.

Above all, we want prayer to be more than something our children say. We want it to shape how they live, inspiring kindness, compassion, forgiveness and service to others as they grow into architects of a better world.
