About Holy Family Catholic Primary School - Part of the Learning Federation Partnership of Schools

Holy Family Catholic Primary School in Southampton has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection, a significant jump from its previous Good rating. The school’s leadership and management, as well as its early years provision, were also judged Outstanding. But the most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2: 77% of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That places the school well above the Southampton local authority average of 55%, and ranks it 6th out of 42 primary schools in the area, putting it in the top 15% nationally. It’s a strong performance that suggests consistent, high-quality teaching across the core subjects.
