About Holy Family Roman Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy

Holy Family Roman Catholic Primary School in Rochdale holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2015, and an ungraded inspection in March 2025 confirmed that standards have been maintained. That ungraded visit looked specifically at early years provision, which was rated Good, and leadership and management, also Good. The school’s previous graded inspection, back in 2008, had awarded it an Outstanding overall, so the current Good rating represents a step down in that formal measure, though the 2025 check found no slippage in quality. For a primary school, the key academic benchmark is Key Stage 2 SATs performance, and here the local authority average for Rochdale sits at 58 per cent of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. Holy Family’s own KS2 results are not published in this data, but the school operates within a competitive local landscape where the top-performing state primary in the borough, All Souls Church of England Primary, scores 86 on the ranking metric.
