Holy Cross is a Voluntary Aided, Co-Gender Catholic Primary School in Whitwick, Leicestershire, England. It enrolls around 200 students from ages 4-11 in 6 year groups.

The ofted 2007 report states, "Holy Cross is a smaller-than-average-sized village primary school where attainment on entry to the Reception Class is below average. The proportion of students with learning disabilities or otherwise is similar to most schools. Those enrolled are predominantly White British, with a few from ethnic backgrounds. About 2/3 are baptized Catholics"

The Scores of the ofsted report are as follows (1 being the highest achievable, 4 the lowest) - Overall Effectiveness of the School - 2, Effectiveness of the Foundation Stage - 2, Achievement and Standards - 2, Personal Development and Well Being - 2, Teaching and Learning - 2, Curriculum and other activities - 2, Care Guidance and Support - 2, Leadership and Management - 2.

Holy Cross is perhaps one of the oldest schools in Leicestershire, being built in 1901. It receives consistently good Ofsted reports, in contrast to the nearby St. John the Baptist Primary School which was on special measures a few years ago. The staff are lively, friendly individuals who care about the students and the school.

The school has 4 houses to put the students into, named after Saints. These are St.Bernards, St.Thomas, St.Marys and St.Marks.

The school is lucky to be directly adjacent to Holy Cross Church, behind it in fact from the road access to both, which gives the school unique opportunities to let the children into the church during special religious occasions, such as Easter, which furthers their religious and spiritual growth more than holy masses offered in the school hall. The school also has a large playing field on site which is invaluable for the church and school summer fees and the running of the annual school sports day.

Land behind the school used to be the allotments where the school taught gardening, however this was many years ago now and the land is overgrown with trailing ivy and many trees. The land is also owned by the church.
