Our Catholic School

As a Catholic school we offer our children the opportunity to grow as young people with Christ at the centre of all we do.  We live by our school motto, "In all things, love" and this permeates throughout our school.

At Holy Family, we have a safe, happy environment in which children can strive to do their best. We listen carefully to our children and ensure that we offer them an exciting and engaging curriculum. We do our best to foster within each child a growing understanding of their faith, a desire for learning and how to make the right choices.

Headteacher's Welcome

Mission Statement

Our school is part of Holy Family Parish and we see it in family terms.  We aim to develop our children’s all round potential in a happy, secure and disciplined environment.  To achieve this we are committed to a partnership of parents, staff, governors and the whole Christian community.

Our school is founded on faith in Jesus Christ and his teachings and we accept the guidance of the Catholic Church in establishing that foundation.

Catholic Life

At Holy Family we are extremely fortunate to have the church so close to our school grounds meaning that we can visit at any time! Children are supported on their spiritual journey by many people within the parish community and we are incredibly lucky to have Father David Burns, who works across both parishes of St Bernadette’s and Holy Family, as our school chaplain. He is a regular visitor at school, with classes taking it in turns for a class Mass each week.

We welcome all parents, carers and our local parishioners to join us in our worship every Thursday afternoon. Please phone the school office on 01253 354496 if you would like any more details.

Feast of Epiphany

This morning we 'chalked' our school door. The Church has a custom of blessing homes on the Feast of the Epiphany and the weeks following. We gather to ask for God's blessing on our homes and schools and those who visit them. It is an invitation for Jesus to be a daily guest in our comings and goings, our conversations, our work and play, our joys and sorrows. We chalk the following letters above the main entrance 20+C+M+B+25 The letters C,M,B have two meanings - they are the initials of the three Magi, they also abbreviate the latin 'May Christ bless this place' + represents the cross and 2025 is the year. The Blessing: The three wise men, Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar followed the star of God's Son who became human two thousand and twenty five years ago. May Christ bless our school and remain with us throughout this Jubilee Year. Amen.
