Welcome to our Holy Family Primary transition page which we have created especially for our new children who are coming to join our fantastic school in August 2020.
We know you are going to enjoy being part of our learning community. Although we can’t meet you in person as we normally would we are going to post new information for you here each week on Transition Tuesdays so that you can get to know us better over the coming months.
Have fun and welcome to our very special family. We live on Hope Street, can there be any more beautiful an address for a school to have ?
Mrs Wilson and all the team at Holy Family Primary.
