About Holy Family Catholic Primary School

Holy Family Catholic Primary School sits comfortably above the Coventry local authority average for its key stage 2 results. With 63% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, the school outperforms the LA average of 58% by five percentage points. That places it 26th out of 85 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top third locally. It’s a solid, above-average performance rather than a headline-grabbing one, and it reflects a school that is quietly effective rather than flashy. The school is also oversubscribed — 128 families applied for 59 places in the 2025/26 intake, with 62 listing it as their first preference — which suggests it has a strong reputation among local parents. Given that only two primary schools in Coventry are rated Outstanding by Ofsted, Holy Family’s Good rating puts it in the majority, but its results are clearly drawing families in.
