Ethos and Catholic Life
We value everyone in our school community as the unique people that they are.
We develop compassion, tolerance, empathy and co-operation in our children. We encourage them to look beyond themselves in order to develop spiritually and creatively. Children know that their efforts are valued which fosters a belief that all things are possible. Children learn to set goals, take risks and make decisions. We endeavour to nurture a love of God through Jesus Christ in all our children.
At Notre Dame Prep, all our children are cared for, supported, and respected. Everyone is included and all of our children are seen and recognised as individuals. We celebrate talents of each child through a rich and stimulating modern curriculum, which are further supported by extra-curricular opportunities and class trips.
“Love one another as I have loved you” – John 13:34
Catholic Life
At Notre Dame Prep School we welcome children and families from all religious and cultural backgrounds.
Our Catholic ethos is at the heart of all that we do; teaching kindness, respect and tolerance as our core values. Our school enjoys a close relationship with St John’s Cathedral, and our children make regular visits for class trips, Mass, our Carol Service, Easter Concert and Prizegiving.
Mass is celebrated in school too, which is a super opportunity for our whole school community to come together and experience a service in familiar surroundings.
