About St. Malachy’s Catholic Primary Academy, Halifax

Our school is a nurturing and caring community for pupils aged 3-11. We seek to raise pupil aspirations and aim to equip them with the skills to be independent and resilient, life-long learners. We have a dedicated and supportive staff team, committed to raising standards and encouraging pupils to be the best version of themselves that they can be.

‘This is a school where pupils are happy, safe and secure. Leaders say that ‘love is at the heart of the school’, and it is. All staff show a deep care for pupils, their families and each other.’ Ofsted March 2023

The staff have worked hard to develop a broad and balanced curriculum that meets the needs of our children. Everything we do is underpinned by our Catholic ethos and non-Catholic staff are very well supported.

We offer all the staff the opportunity to develop their career in an improving, forward looking and supportive school.

‘Leaders take the impact of workload on staff seriously. Staff say that they feel valued, appreciated and motivated.’ Ofsted March 2023
