About Holy Family Catholic Primary School

Around 338 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school.

That is down 4.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 28% of primary schools nationally.

Competition for places is real here - 71% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (55 first choices for 44 places). Overall pupil absence was 4.0%. There are about 24.4 pupils per teacher. Holy Family Catholic Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
