Today we celebrate each individual path to success – whether that be 9s or a personal best of any grade. We pride ourselves on getting to know every one of our students personally, cultivating their interests, passions and talents to ensure that their time at Notre Dame is a successful one. It has been a pleasure watching them grow into resilient, competent and confident young women, prepared for their next adventure. We wish them the very best of luck.

Mr Garrido, CEO of SECLAT commented:

Congratulations to all students for their achievements and thank you to our staff and families who have supported them - we hope you are as proud as we are! Students at Notre Dame are clearly benefitting from the school’s ongoing efforts to provide exceptional opportunities and experiences both within and outside the classroom. We are excited for the new academic year and to watch the school continue to go from strength to strength.

Congratulations to each and every one of our Notre Dame students on making it through an incredibly tough two years. We know how hard it has been at times but the resilience and positivity you maintained at all times was extraordinary.
You are all exceptional, inspiring and talented young ladies and we could not be prouder of you.
A special mention to some of our top performers:

• Laura Hack who received 8 level 9s, 2 level 8s and 1 level 7 
• Head Girl Chisimdi Ukor George who received 8 level 9s, 1 level 8 and 1 level 7 

We would also like to congratulate the year 10 students who sat their Religious Studies GCSE early and performed brilliantly. 

Given the uneven impact of the pandemic on school and college performance data, the government has said you should not make direct comparisons between the performance data for one school or college and another, or to data from previous years. 

Highest Achieving Students

We are delighted to report some outstanding achievements by our students in their GCSEs this summer.                      

Our top 3 pupils are: Jane Mills who gained nine  grade 9s and one grade 7; Emmanuella Otukpe who received six grade 9s and four grade 8s; and Lani Iriajen who gained three grade 9s and seven grade 8s. Well done to all of our girls. 

This year, following the cancellation of exams, grades were awarded through a process of teacher assessed grades, against a national standard and approved and awarded by the exam boards. The government is not publishing performance data for any schools or colleges this year due to the varying impact of the pandemic. 

Sister Anne Marie Niblock said: “We are immensely proud of all the work and achievements of our students, especially after such a difficult and disrupted year. Our teachers have worked tirelessly to ensure students are all able to progress onto further education and study, and we look forward to seeing what they will achieve in the future.”
