The headteacher is Fiona Hutchings, who has been headteacher since 2001. It has 800 students attending: in the sixth form, boys may attend.

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

History

Notre Dame was founded by the Sisters of Notre Dame under the guidance of St Julie Billiart,

It was housed next to Plymouth Cathedral but the site was bombed in 1941, so moved to a new building.

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 Sister Dorothy Stang.

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.
