Personal Development

Our pastoral care is at the heart of everything we do.

We are committed to providing a nurturing and supportive environment where every student feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive. Our dedicated staff work closely with students to ensure their emotional, spiritual, and academic well-being is looked after, offering personalised guidance and encouragement every step of the way.

Grounded in our Catholic ethos, we believe in the importance of community, compassion, and mutual respect. Whether through one-on-one mentoring, mental health support, or opportunities for personal development, we aim to create a space where students are equipped to overcome challenges and grow in confidence. 

At Holy Family, we take pride in offering strong pastoral care that helps our students not only succeed academically but also flourish as individuals who are prepared for life beyond school.

Personal Development 

In the Sixth Form, personal development is a priority, supported through weekly Future Focus sessions designed to equip students with essential skills for their future. These sessions include career talks with industry professionals, study skills workshops, and practical guidance on navigating the world beyond school. Alongside this, a comprehensive PSHCE (Personal, Social, Health, and Citizenship Education) programme runs weekly, addressing key areas of personal growth, well-being, and social responsibility. This holistic approach aims to help students build a strong foundation for both academic and personal success.

Super Curricular Projects

At Holy Family Catholic School Sixth Form, we believe in nurturing a love for learning that goes beyond the classroom. Our super-curricular projects provide students with enriching experiences that deepen their understanding of subjects and inspire intellectual curiosity. These activities include university-style seminars, guest lectures, subject-specific workshops, and academic competitions, allowing students to explore their interests in greater depth.

Through our super-curricular programme, students gain valuable insights, develop critical thinking skills, and build confidence as independent learners. These experiences not only enhance university applications but also empower students to engage passionately with their subjects and to think creatively about the world around them.
