Ofsted
Ofsted visited our school on 21st and 22nd September 2022. The Inspector met with Mr Harding, all senior leaders and many subject leaders as well as Governors and support staff. The Inspector spoke to parents, via a questionnaire and in person in the playground; as well as talking to the children.
Some highlights of the report are:

the values of the Catholic faith.
The school’s mission statement of ‘Always our best for God, each other and ourselves’ is lived out daily in the way pupils and adults treat each other with fairness and respect.
Leaders are ambitious for all pupils. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and the many pupils who speak English as an additional language learn well here.
Holy Family gives a warm welcome to pupils
and families from all over the world.
New pupils and their families quickly become a valued part of the school community.
Parents appreciate the commitment and support
school leaders give them.
