About Holy Family Catholic High School

Holy Family Catholic High School sits within Sefton local authority, one of 20 state secondary schools in the borough. Among its immediate peers, it ranks behind Formby High School, which holds the top spot locally, but ahead of both Range High School and Meols Cop High School. The school is a mixed Roman Catholic secondary for pupils aged 11 to 18, led by headteacher Matthew Symes, and currently educates 1,037 students. Sefton has no state secondaries rated Outstanding, which places Holy Family’s Good Ofsted rating in a strong position locally. The school’s religious character is a defining feature, with a chapel on site and a clear Catholic identity that shapes its ethos. For families prioritising faith-based education within a strong local authority context, Holy Family offers a solid option that compares favourably against several nearby non-faith alternatives.
