What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 May 2025
Holy Family does exactly what it promises pupils' parents and carers, providing 'a rich learning experience where children are encouraged to become successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens'. Children have the very best start in early years. Excellent learning habits and an infectious love of learning are nurtured from the word go. The meticulously designed curriculum builds on these strong foundations as pupils move up through the school. Classrooms are hives of purposeful activity. Pupils achieve well in reading, writing and mathematics and soak up a wealth of knowledge and skills across the full range of subjects. They are very well equipped to be 'architects of a better world', with a strong sense of moral purpose. As one parent captured perfectly, they send their children to Holy Family knowing that they 'are safe, loved and will be guided and challenged to be their best selves'. Support for pupils' well-being is of the highest quality. They learn to manage their feelings and the importance of making sensible choices. Impressive behaviour in and out of class is underpinned by the school values, which foster a mature understanding of equality, compassion and responsibility. The wider curriculum expands pupils' horizons and opens their eyes to opportunities. Activities planned 'to make lasting memories together' do just that.
