Notre Dame Senior School, a Catholic school in Cobham Surrey, has been shortlisted for the TES Independent Senior School of the Year award in recognition of its delivery of cutting edge academic and pastoral provision within an authentic culture of learning rather than attaining, collaboration rather than direction and inclusivity rather than elitism.
The most outstanding individuals and institutions that the education sector has to offer have been recognised in the shortlist for the prestigious TES Schools Awards 2023. Anna King, Notre Dame Senior School Headmistress said:
“I am thrilled that we have been shortlisted for the Independent Senior School of the Year award. At Notre Dame we educate as a community and this award is recognition of everyone in our school – students, staff and parents who believe in our ethos and values and see, first-hand, the success of our educational philosophy.”
Nothing speaks more of the success of a school than a flourishing word of mouth reputation. At Notre Dame Senior School this has been demonstrated through growth of over 50% in the past 5 years. Reputation has grown organically because the first focus is on getting it right for everyone in the community every day, and because there is a commitment to always communicating with authenticity. Notre Dame is very clear about who they are and, by remaining true to their ethos, succeed in balancing academic, creative, physical, moral, and intellectual challenge with fun and laughter, trust and compassion.
