Notre Dame High School
About Notre Dame High School
Notre Dame High School is a Roman Catholic secondary in Sheffield, one of 33 state secondaries in the local authority. Among its closest academic peers in the area, it sits behind High Storrs School and King Ecgbert School but ahead of Tapton School in the local rankings. Tapton, which is rated Outstanding by Ofsted, lies just 0.4 kilometres away, making it the nearest top-rated school for families weighing up options. Notre Dame itself holds a Good rating from Ofsted, and with 1,492 pupils on a capacity of 495, it is heavily oversubscribed — a clear sign of its popularity with local families. The school is mixed, for ages 11 to 18, and has a dedicated Sixth Form Centre, so pupils can stay on for A-levels without needing to move schools. Its religious character as a Roman Catholic school will appeal particularly to families seeking a faith-based education within the state system, though it is not a selective school.
