About Notre Dame School
Thank you for taking an interest in Notre Dame School and St Boniface's College. Our schools have a proud tradition dating back to the 19th Century, and we preserve a distinctive approach to education of the whole child.
As Catholic schools we are open to those of all faiths and none, and we offer single sex faith-based education for students from all over Plymouth, with students also joining our schools from Cornwall and West Devon. Girls attend Notre Dame School, and boys attend St Boniface's College. We have a joint Sixth Form that operates principally from Notre Dame.
We place great emphasis on success in its broadest sense, believing that paying attention to the culture in which young people learn is the key to happy and successful students, and staff who enjoy and are fulfilled in their work.
Our curriculum sets out to form students ready for life, not just for the workplace. We recognise that teachers must be supported in bringing their passion and creativity to learning, and that all staff play a part in the formation of the young. We take seriously our mission to send young adults out into the world to make future society a better society. We always seek to recruit people who instinctively want this too, people who have a vision of education that serves the needs of tomorrow, not merely performance frameworks. Through a range of courses and qualifications from key stages 3 to 5 we constantly seek to build a learning experience that engages and inspires, paying as much attention to the super-curriculum as we do to formal taught studies.
Catholic education is a gift to the world, with a concern for social justice, a fairer society, and attention to formation of the person as a unique creation. Whether you are Catholic or not, you will be welcomed to play your part in helping us to build such a vision and model of education. We believe in investing strongly in professional formation, and creating professional opportunities, knowing that every person who works with us has their own aspirations, and seeks fulfilment in their role.
We want you to enjoy working at Notre Dame School and St. Boniface's College. Our staff consider the sense of community and the motivation of students as our schools’ greatest strengths. Our visitors tell us that they are struck by the friendliness of our students and colleagues, the quality of our learning environment and the ethos of the schools.
If you’d like to find out more, we’d love to hear from you and to show you around!
