Message from the Head

I am delighted to welcome you to The Holy Family Catholic High School.  We are a successful school, where visitors frequently comment on the caring atmosphere made visible through our students, who behave with respect and tolerance to all members of the community.
 
At Holy Family we:
 
·         provide a caring environment with Gospel Values at the heart of all that we do
·         nurture a love of learning
·         have high expectations of our students in their work, appearance, courtesy and behaviour
·         offer a wide range of opportunities, enabling all of our students to succeed
 
These are exciting times in education. There is a great deal of change and we are well equipped to make the most of the challenges ahead.
 
Our school is built on three vital areas:
 
We are a Catholic School and we will make Christ known to all people in the way that we act. The values of honesty, humility, faithfulness and truth are central to all that we do. We believe that each individual has unique God-given talents.
 
Academic excellence is a priority and we are proud of the achievements of all our students. We look for excellence in all aspects of learning and we expect high standards of achievement from all members of the community.
 
As a Mathematics and Computing College we lead and innovate to make learning fun, challenging and distinctive. We work with the community around us, nationally and internationally, to develop and enhance Teaching and Learning in all areas of the school.
 
We believe that there is no limit to what a young person can achieve if they are provided with appropriate encouragement and high quality learning opportunities. We enjoy working in partnership with parents and students, ensuring that all members of the school community grow in skills and confidence enabling them to make a positive contribution to society.
