Holy Family Primary School, Derry, Northern Ireland

Welcome

Welcome to our website, we hope that it provides a flavour of the ethos and nature of the work at Holy Family Primary and Nursery School. Our school was founded in 1987 to serve the wider Holy Family parish and has been at the core of our community since then.

As a school we focus on ensuring that our pupils are happy, safe and secure. This provides the bedrock so that they can progress in the core curriculum areas of literacy, numeracy, ICT and WAU within the context of a faith-based environment. We firmly believe that strong relationships and routines support the holistic development of our pupils and accordingly, we place great emphasis on developing and maintaining these throughout the school.

A child attending Holy Family can be assured of the highest quality of care, a broad and balanced curriculum with specific emphasis on literacy and numeracy as well as very high expectations.

In conclusion, as a self - evaluating school, we consistently endeavour to improve and extend our practice. Accordingly, the school has a well deserved reputation as being an innovative place of learning that works very effectively with all partner organisations.
