Main SchoolCatholic Life

Welcome to the Catholic Life page at Holy Family Catholic School, where faith, community, and service are at the heart of all we do. As the only Catholic secondary school in Waltham Forest, we are committed to fostering a vibrant spiritual environment where students can deepen their faith, live out Catholic values, and develop into compassionate, responsible citizens.

Our school prayer, inspired by St. Oscar Romero's call ‘not to have more, but to be more,’ reminds us daily to aspire to be our best selves in service to others, in integrity, and in respect. We celebrate our connection with the local parishes, our liturgical gatherings, and our charity initiatives, each reinforcing our mission to nurture both academic excellence and a life of faith. Our chaplaincy, led by our dedicated Chaplains, Mrs. Grierson and Ms. Joseph, provides ongoing spiritual guidance and meaningful opportunities for worship, reflection, and growth.

Together, as a community of faith and learning, we embrace the teachings of Jesus Christ, honouring the values of dignity, justice, and stewardship. Through our core values—Achievement, Service, Participation, Integrity, Respect, and Equity—we strive to make our Catholic identity a living reality within our school, nurturing young people to grow in wisdom, compassion, and love for all.
