Admissions

edit

The College became coeducational from September 2012, admitting boys into Year 7 for the first time. Boys were already undertaking Sixth Form education at Notre Dame Catholic College.

History

edit

It was founded in February 1869. The Notre Dame Catholic College was originally the residence of the Sisters of Notre Dame in Liverpool, and began as a pupil-teacher centre with links to local primary schools. The collegiate school did not actually come into existence until 1902, with this merging with the pupil teacher centre in 1908.

Direct grant grammar school

edit

It was known as Notre Dame Collegiate School at Everton Valley, and became a direct grant grammar school in 1946 as a result of the Education Act 1944.[2]

Comprehensive

edit

The sisters did not move out of the building until 1978 due to the expansion and the intake of the school building, and the school building also followed this expansion to pave the way for the institution to become an all-girls comprehensive school in 1983, which also tallied with the amalgamation of both St John's Secondary Modern School and St Catherine's Secondary Modern School to form Notre Dame High School in the same year.

In 2001, the school added the word 'Catholic' to its title to become Notre Dame Catholic High School, but in 2002 it became a specialist Performing Arts College.

The former all-girls' college started to accept boys into Year 7 from September 2012. Boys were already enrolled in the sixth form.

In September 2013, the college moved to a new building next to Everton Park sports centre on Great Homer Street as part of the wider Project Jennifer scheme. Construction had begun on the new building in July 2012.
