Overview
Overview
Marian and Catholic heritage gives Notre Dame School a clear thread through its all-through community, from nursery and prep to the senior school and ND6 Sixth Form. The senior route is for girls aged 11 to 19, with subject-specialist teaching, an integrated academic and pastoral model and the influence of the Order of the Company of Mary Our Lady.
English, mathematics, theology, biology, chemistry and physics sit alongside Spanish, French, German, Latin, history, geography, ICT, music, drama, art, physical education, swimming, textiles and food technology. An Academic Mentor supports each girl at GCSE and in Sixth Form, helping progress tracking and individual strengths remain visible within a broad curriculum.
ND6 has its own centre, while the 26-acre setting includes a pool, theatre, Forest School and the ND Innovate STEM space. The ABC Above and Beyond the Curriculum programme adds a named route into interests beyond lessons, keeping the senior experience connected to creative, practical and community life.
Admissions are direct, with private tours and open events for both all-through and senior pathways. ND6 welcomes girls joining from outside the school. Notre Dame is selective, girls-only and non-boarding, with the senior years continuing through Sixth Form rather than ending at GCSE.
