Notre Dame High School

The ethos of the school is Christian and we are primarily concerned with the distinctive Catholic education of students whilst respecting and welcoming children from other denominations. A major responsibility of our school is to help our students develop an understanding of their faith and to provide opportunities to foster and develop its practise. Each day begins and ends with a prayer and all students attend regular assemblies and services. A liturgical calendar is produced annually and the school community recognises and celebrates special times and holy days in the liturgical cycle. All staff employed by the Governors are asked to guarantee that they will uphold the Catholic/Christian ethos of the school and are required to sign the Catholic Education Service contract. All teachers are therefore expected to pray with students and accompany them to acts of worship held in the school.
