NOTRE DAME – EVERTON VALLEY

SOME IMPORTANT DATES IN OUR COLLEGE HISTORY 

FOUNDED IN FEBRUARY 1869

 1869 – 1902

 Notre Dame, Everton Valley began as a student-Teacher Centre and it had links with many of the local Primary Schools:

 St Augustine’s School from 1871

St Alexander’s School from 1872

St Sylvester’s School from 1873

St Michael’s School from 1875

All Souls School from 1876

St John’s School from 1878

St Alphonsus’ School from 1888

 1902 – 1908

 The Collegiate School came into existence and in 1908 the student-Teacher Centre and the Collegiate School formed one establishment.

 1908 – 1983

 Notre Dame Collegiate School developed in size and in stature. In 1978 the Sisters finally moved from Everton Valley to make way for the extended building needed when the school became an all-girls Comprehensive School in September 1983.

 1983 – 2002

1983 brought the re-organisation of Catholic Secondary Education in the Archdiocese of Liverpool. Three schools, Notre Dame Collegiate School, St John’s Secondary Modern School and St Catherine’s Secondary Modern School amalgamated and became known as Notre Dame High School. In 2001 all the Catholic High Schools in Liverpool inserted the title `Catholic’ into their name.

2002 – 

During the academic year 2002 Notre Dame Catholic High School was awarded the status of a Performing Arts College. Along with the status came the opportunity for the Governing Body to change the school’s name. Fittingly the school returns to its original title of College.
