What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 February 2025
At Holy Family, every child is welcomed and nurtured, including those who join part way through the school year. Pupils have warm relationships with adults in the school. Pupils trust staff to listen to them and sort out any worries. This helps pupils to feel valued and safe at school. The school is ambitious for its pupils to succeed. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have the same opportunities as their peers. Pupils are proud of their work. They try hard and achieve well. The school is calm and orderly. Pupils behave well because they know exactly what is expected of them. Pupils care about each other. At breaktimes, they make sure everyone has someone to play with. Pupils, from the early years upwards, happily work together and share resources politely. Pupils benefit from trips to enhance their learning, including residential visits. These help them to gain confidence and experience different places. Pupils learn about being good citizens by being involved in the local community. They organise litter-picking events and collect donations of clothes to support refugees. Pupils have a strong sense of belonging at Holy Family and are proud of their school.
What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that all staff have the expertise and training they need to be able to meet all the needs of pupils with SEND. This means that some pupils do not consistently get the precise support that they need. The school should continue to develop training for staff so they increase their expertise to support pupils with SEND even further.
