Notre Dame RC School is a Roman Catholic school for girls in Derriford, Plymouth, England. Its sister school is St Boniface's Catholic College.

The former headteacher, Fiona Hutchings, was headteacher from 2001 until July 2012. Kate White, the current headteacher, assumed Hutchings' position in September 2012. It has 879 students attending: in the sixth form, boys may attend. They also pray everyday.

It is situated north of the A386, west of the now-closed Plymouth City Airport (former RAF Roborough).

History

It was housed next to Plymouth Cathedral but the site was bombed in 1941, In 1965 the new school at Looseleigh Lane in Derriford was completed at this time and Sister Mary Xavier was the headmistress. The school was built on the grounds of the convent. The pupils moved to there at that time

Direct grant grammar school

It was a catholic girls' direct grant grammar school, the Notre Dame High School from 1946.

In 1976 it was one of 51 direct grant schools, out of 170, that decided to become comprehensive.

Comprehensive

In 1981 it amalgamated with the Bishop Vaughan Secondary School to become Notre Dame Comprehensive School for Girls.[1] St Boniface's became a comprehensive at the same time.

In 1993 boys were accepted in the sixth form and the school became Notre Dame Roman Catholic School.

Notre Dame had much building work done in the academic year 2007/8: among this was a large professional sports hall, a library and a five-classroom block for history and geography named Stang Block after Dorothy Stang.

Academy

The school converted to academy status on 1 April 2014.

Academic performance

It gets good GCSE results, the second best comprehensive in Plymouth, but below average results at A level. It gets similar A level results to St Boniface's but much better GCSEs.
