Holy Family Catholic Primary School is a happy, hard‑working and inclusive community. Our friendly and caring ethos promotes excellent relationships between dedicated staff, pupils, parents and governors, and we enjoy strong links with our parish and wider local community.

Our most recent Ofsted inspection judged the school to be Good, noting that “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.” Inspectors also highlighted that “the curriculum helps pupils become well‑rounded young people who have the skills to make a difference to the world as they grow older. They have a strong awareness of equality, respect for others, and their stewardship of the world.”

  • Pupils who enjoy learning and thrive on enriching experiences
  • A caring and supportive environment that encourages professional growth
  • Professional development opportunities at all career stages
  • A supportive Leadership Team and Governing Body
  • A community with Christ at its centre

We welcome applications from teachers of all backgrounds who are supportive of our mission and values. You do not need to be Catholic to apply; what matters is a commitment to our ethos and to providing the very best education for our pupils. Applications are welcome from Early Career Teachers.
