On behalf of our entire school community, I’d like to welcome you to the Holy Spirit Catholic Academy website.
Holy Spirit is a warm, welcoming school in the heart of Netherton. As the new headteacher, and having served this school as a teacher, senior leader and Assistant Headteacher, I am both proud and privileged to lead a community where every child is valued and every member of staff has high expectations – for themselves and for the potential of our pupils.
Our vision for every child is shaped by respect, resilience, a love of learning, and excellence and achievement – what we call The Holy Spirit Way. These values underpin everything we do, every day.
As a Catholic school, our mission is guided by faith:
“Jesus holds my hand and guides me on my way.”
We truly believe that, hand in hand, day by day, we include everyone the Holy Spirit Way.
I am passionate about raising standards for all of our children and providing them with the very best education – one that supports, challenges, and enables each pupil to fulfil their potential. We strive to equip our children not only with the skills they need academically, but also with the confidence and character to thrive socially and emotionally.
Our curriculum is broad, engaging, and creative, designed to make learning both enjoyable and purposeful. We want every child to develop a love of learning that will last a lifetime.
Holy Spirit Catholic Academy is proud to be part of the St Joseph Catholic Multi Academy Trust and benefits from strong partnerships with the Archdiocese of Liverpool, Sefton Council, and the Parish of Our Lady of Walsingham. Our experienced Governing Body provides expert guidance and challenge, always striving for the very best for our children.
We believe that education is the key to opening doors to choice and opportunity. Working closely with our families and wider community, we nurture confident, compassionate young people who are ready to make a positive difference in the world.
We always welcome visits to our school – every day is an Open Day! Please explore our website to find out more about life at Holy Spirit Catholic Academy, and do get in touch if you’d like further information or to arrange a visit.
With best wishes,
Ms L Chellew
