Aim: To promote Gospel values through liturgical and other curriculum experiences.

Ethos

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.

Notre Dame High School is situated in the Fulwood area of the city in 20 acres of ground, which includes Smith Wood, believed to have been once part of Sherwood Forest. It was here that Mark Firth, famous son of the city of Sheffield, steel manufacturer, philanthropist, Lord Mayor, Master Cutler, built his dream mansion in 1860. His mansion became an Officers’ Convalescent Home in the First World War, a convent in 1919 and a Sixth Form Centre in 1988.
