About this school
The Holy Family Catholic Primary School is a Roman Catholic primary academy in Welwyn Garden City. It teaches children aged 3 to 11 and has 211 pupils on roll.
Ofsted has inspected The Holy Family Catholic Primary School, and its latest judgement is set out below. Numbers and a report only go so far, so visit in person before you apply.
Ofsted judgement
Ofsted's most recent visit was a short inspection on 16 October 2024, where inspectors found that standards have been maintained. The school's last full inspection took place before September 2019, so its area grades are not part of Ofsted's current published data. Older reports are on the school's Ofsted page.
This inspection took place when the school was registered as The Holy Family Catholic Primary School (URN 117481).

Results reflect each school's cohort as much as its teaching, and free school meals share is context, not a judgement. Small gaps between neighbouring schools are rarely meaningful on their own.
