Of the 143 lessons observed by Ofsted in March 2005, 71.4% were judged to be good, very good or excellent. The sixth form is currently collaborating with other local schools in order to provide a wider array of subjects to sixth formers.
Holy Family converted from a secondary modern to a comprehensive during the late 1970s. The catchment area for pupils during the 1970s and 1980s was predominantly from the nearby towns of Formby, Freshfield and Crosby. This was the nearest RC High School that these pupils could attend after leaving junior school.
