# Teaching and Learning

![](https://www.holyfamilyhighschool.co.uk/images/images/05.jpg)

Ensuring that all teaching is outstanding, across the school, is the shared goal of all of Holy Family staff. All teachers are committed to this aim and regularly meet to share good practice, taking opportunities for reflection and embed CPD in the classroom. Other opportunities for teacher development arise from a continuing coaching programme, regular twilight sessions and a well-developed Catholic Archdiocesan CPD network.

> “There is an impressive professional culture throughout the school, in which teachers routinely reflect upon and improve their teaching.”
>
> Ofsted 2019

> “Teachers fully support the training programme which leaders have introduced because they are provided with the time and expertise to improve. It supports effectively the newly and recently qualified staff at the school and has also resulted in stronger teaching from established staff. As a result, the progress pupils make is quickly and securely improving.”
