History
Holy Family converted from a secondary modern to a comprehensive during the late 1970s, and was formerly known as St Joseph's. 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. Many of Holy Family's pupils now come from areas such as Bootle and Seaforth and fewer come from Formby due to improvements made by the schools there.
