Welcome to Holy Family Catholic Primary School and Nursery

At Holy Family Catholic Primary School in Darlington, your child will be welcomed into a warm, nurturing community that places every pupil at the heart of everything we do. We are passionate about giving children the very best start to their education, offering personalised support that helps every individual shine.

We are proud to offer a dedicated nursery for children aged 3 and above, giving our youngest learners a joyful and supportive introduction to school life. Our newly designed, light‑filled EYFS room provides an inspiring environment where children—whether in Nursery or Reception—grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence from their very first days with us.

Holy Family has a strong academic record, with 84% of our pupils meeting the Expected Standard in Maths in 2024, and we combine this achievement with a caring, inclusive approach that supports each child’s well‑being and personal development.

Join our community and discover a school where children feel happy, supported, and inspired to achieve great things.
