We are delighted to announce that James Coyle, the founding Chair of the Blessed Holy Family Catholic Academy Trust, has been recognised by the King in the New Year’s Honours list for his services to education.  Throughout his career he has dedicated himself to making the lives of young people better through his commitment to providing the best start for everyone with a high-quality Catholic education. 

Alongside his own teaching career and work as an Ofsted and Diocesan inspector Mr Coyle has given up his time to serve as a governor of a number of Catholic primary and secondary schools and was instrumental in the creation of the Blessed Holy Family Catholic Academy Trust serving the local family of Catholic Schools in Harrow.

Mr Coyle said,

“It was a privilege to accept the award in recognition of the work I have done, over a period of time, alongside a range of professionals involved in education across Harrow and North West London.

This, I hope, has had some benefit to the pupils attending their schools over the years”.

All members of The Blessed Holy Family community would like to offer our congratulations and thanks to our Chair for his years of dedicated service and truly fulfilling our motto.

‘Christ at our centre inspiring our pursuit of excellence’.
