About Holy Family Catholic Primary School

Holy Family Catholic Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 47 applications for 29 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.62. Every one of the 29 first-preference applicants was offered a place, which suggests the school is a realistic first choice for many parents in Blackpool. The school currently has 211 pupils on roll, just one above its official capacity of 210, so it is running very close to full. While the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, the high level of first-preference applications indicates strong local confidence. The headteacher, Emma Allonby, leads a Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, and 18 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is in line with the national average for primary schools.
