In November 2024 we were reassessed for the Values Based Education Quality Mark. After spending a day looking through all our evidence, carrying out learning walks, chatting to parents, children and staff we were awarded the Enhanced Values Based Quality Mark. We are one of only 31 schools in the country to have this level of Quality Mark.
Sue Jones, our assessor said, 'At Holy Family staff have shown a firm commitment to sharing the Values-based approach widely and have certainly been great ambassadors for this. They have been very ably assisted by Linda and Ciara and VbE is so well embedded that I am confident this will continue, even if staff move on in their careers. This is a school where the Values really are the bedrock upon which everything else is founded. Everyone is invested totally in this philosophy.
It is rare to find a school as wholehearted in its approach and as compassionate to all.'
