The Staff and governors of Holy Family School aim to provide for the religious and educational needs of children of Primary School age. Their aim is to provide a broad relevant curriculum, which centres on the teaching and practices of the Catholic Church. The school will ensure that the religious dimension of the school permeates all aspects of the curriculum and that this will be fundamental to the delivery of all areas including the National Curriculum and Desirable Outcomes.
