Welcome to Holy Family Catholic High School
Welcome to Holy Family’s Sixth Form. We are extremely proud of our Sixth Form and the contribution that our Sixth Formers make to the life of the school, their achievements, the example that they set to younger students in the school and the wide variety of charity and community projects they undertake.<br><br>There are many courses to study in our Sixth Form including A-Levels, vocational qualifications and resit GCSEs. Holy Family has a long established tradition of Sixth Form provision dedicated to ensuring that all our young people move on to enjoy happy and successful lives. We are consistently one of the most successful Sixth Forms in Sefton in terms of our academic performance and the destinations of our students, and we will do all we can to ensure that this continues.<br><br>We pride ourselves on our excellent programme of support, advice and guidance offered to all students to help steer them through the many choices and opportunities they will have now, and in the future. We are determined to offer a quality experience for all students underpinned by best practice in teaching, monitoring and care, support and guidance.<br><br>We aim to provide an excellent transition from the experience of compulsory education to the demands of higher education, training and employment. There are plenty of people on hand to support you in making the right decision for your future.<br><br>Following on from the Sixth Form Open Evening in February, every Year 11 student will be interviewed, guided and supported in order to identify the best next step. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or issues you would like to discuss further.<br><br>May I take this opportunity to wish all Year 11 students every success in their examinations later this year and we look forward to following their continuing success in our Sixth Form.
