HOLY FAMILY CATHOLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL

What HOLY FAMILY CATHOLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL does

Holy Family Catholic Primary School is a faith-based state primary school located at High Street, Langley, Berkshire, England (SL3 8NF). The school serves children from Nursery (ages 2-3) through Year 6, delivering the full National Curriculum alongside a religious education programme rooted in Catholic Social Teaching and Gospel values. It is led by Headteacher Mrs Sara Benn (also Designated Safeguarding Lead), with Deputy Headteacher Clare Doyle, SENDCo Louise Clarke, Assistant Headteacher Louise Hume, and a team of phase leaders and administrative staff totalling approximately 117 employees. On 1 September 2024, the school joined St Thomas Catholic Academies Trust (STCAT), a Multi-Academy Trust comprising 18 schools across Central Beds, Luton, Slough and Bucks.

The school does not develop proprietary technology. Its digital learning stack consists of third-party educational platforms procured as integrations: Reading Eggs (English, Nursery–Year 6), MyMaths (maths, Years 2–6), Times Tables Rock Stars (Years 4–6), and Read Theory (reading comprehension, Years 5–6). Administrative systems include ParentPay for school payments and Colham Catering for school meal ordering.

The school's revenue model is primarily government-funded. The main stream is per-pupil funding allocated through the Education Act 1996, supplemented by transaction-based revenue from paid school meals for Years 3–6 (Reception to Year 2 receive fully funded compulsory hot meals) and subscription-based revenue from wraparound care services branded Early Birds, Sunset Owls, Rising Robins and Sleepy Sparrows, operating 7:45am–5:45pm. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer admissions: prospective parents attend monthly tours and apply through the school office. The customer base is local Catholic and non-Catholic families in the Langley/Slough catchment area. The school has consistently delivered KS2 outcomes above national averages, including 2024 combined Reading/Writing/Maths at 81% vs 61% national, and Year 1 Phonics at 93% vs 80% national in 2025, supported by a 2026 Catholic School Inspectorate Outstanding rating and 2019 Ofsted Good rating.

Others

• Reading Eggs (3P Learning): Third-party digital learning platform integrated into Holy Family's homework offering (Nursery–Year 6); relevant as an enabler rather than a competitor, shaping the school's blended learning experience.
• MyMaths (Oxford University Press): Online maths homework platform used by Holy Family for Years 2–6; comparable as an educational technology supplier embedded into the primary curriculum delivery model.
• Diocese of Northampton Education Service (NORES): Diocesan education body that issued Holy Family's 2019 Outstanding Catholic School inspection rating; comparable as the regulatory/inspection counterpart for all diocesan Catholic schools in the region.
• Times Tables Rock Stars (Maths Circle): Gamified times-tables practice programme used by Holy Family for Years 4–6; relevant as a widely-adopted third-party tool that defines much of the school's at-home maths practice.
• Catholic Schools Inspectorate: National inspectorate that issued Holy Family's 2026 Outstanding inspection report; relevant peer as the inspection regime that defines reputational differentiation across all Catholic schools in England.

Direct peers

• St Anthony's Catholic Primary School: Catholic primary school in the same broader Slough/Berkshire faith-school market; comparable on academic positioning, wraparound care offer and diocesan inspection regime.
• St Mary's Catholic Primary School: UK Catholic primary school offering the same Nursery–Year 6 faith-based education model under the same diocesan Catholic Social Teaching framework; comparable on curriculum, ethos and admissions process.
• Langley Primary School: Local non-faith primary school competing directly for the same Langley family catchment; comparable on age range, government funding model and basic curriculum delivery, but lacks the Catholic-ethos differentiator.
• St Joseph's Catholic Primary School: Faith-based Catholic primary school serving a similar local-community catchment; comparable on Catholic ethos, RE-led curriculum and parish–school partnership model.

Broad incumbents

• St Thomas Catholic Academies Trust: Parent Multi-Academy Trust that Holy Family joined in September 2024; encompasses 18 Catholic schools across Central Beds, Luton, Slough and Bucks — directly comparable as a Catholic primary-school operating model within the same governance structure.
