Dear Parent

Our school is a highly successful one where we strive for educational excellence and celebrate the achievements of all who work here.  We do this through an atmosphere of co-operation and by fostering in pupils a sense of collective responsibility, which enables them to gain self-esteem and self-discipline.  Home, school and parish work closely together and you are actively encouraged to be involved in your child’s education.

All who are associated with our school are treated with genuine equality and fairness in an ethos of understanding and appreciation.  You are welcome to visit our school; we look forward to showing you the excellent work and high standards of attainment of our pupils.

I am looking forward to working in partnership with you and I hope that your child will be very happy at Holy Family Primary.

Yours sincerely

 Frances O’Connell
