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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Like their personal lives, women’s history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“The history of medicine is the history of the unusual.”
—Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Prof. Gerald Deemer (Leo G. Carroll)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
