## School history[edit]

Previous Headteachers include Sister Myra Poole, SND and Sister Rosemary O'Callaghan, SND. Sister Rosemary O' Callaghan is now acting as the school chaplain.

The school was founded by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in 1855 and celebrated its 150th anniversary in the London Borough of Southwark.

## Linked schools[edit]

The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur base their spirituality on the teachings of their Mother Foundress, Saint Julie Billiart. The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur founded other schools in the United Kingdom:[citation needed]

* Notre Dame High School, Glasgow
* Notre Dame Catholic Sixth Form College, Leeds
* Notre Dame High School, Norwich
* Notre Dame Catholic School, Plymouth
* Notre Dame High School, Sheffield
* Notre Dame Catholic College, Liverpool
* several schools which became part of St Julie's Catholic High School, Liverpool

They also previously had schools in Battersea, London; Wigan, Lancashire; and a boarding school in Birkdale, Lancashire (some of the other schools having initially been boarding and day schools).

With the exception of the Birkdale school the Notre Dame order consciously sited their schools in deprived areas, with the objective of providing an opportunity for high quality education for girls who might otherwise not receive it. The Mission Statement for their Southwark school is "Educating Girls for Success"[citation needed]

## School performance[edit]

As of 2020, the school was last inspected by Ofsted in 2012, when it received a judgement of Outstanding.[2]

In 2019 the school was identified as the most undersubscribed school of those judged Outstanding; it had the lowest ratio of applications per place.[3]
