Pastoral Care

One of Notre Dame School’s many strengths is the level of pastoral care applied and available to every single pupil in the school, from Nursery right through to the Sixth Form. In the spirit of Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac, our foundress:

“We are all educators.....
accompanying young people in their efforts to build
their lives for today and tomorrow”

These words embody our mission

"The care devoted to the well-being and development of all pupils is outstanding, as is the quality of relationships. The school fully meets its aim of providing the highest quality pastoral care for their pupils."
