  • Please arrive via our Student Entrance on Anderson Street.
  • Year 7 Head of Year is Miss Wishart and Assistant Head of Year is Mrs Garvey.

Parent’s Information 

Please explore the information we shared on our Parents’ Information Evening below:

It was wonderful to welcome so many students and parents to our welcome evening. This was an opportunity for students to be introduced to our Head of Year 7, Miss Wishart; to find out what to expect when starting Secondary School; to view our Year 7 uniform; to hear from our current Year 7 student’s about their experience of Notre Dame.

In the first instance, contact will be made via post and/or email. When your child joins us in September, you will be provided details and invited to join our Parent communication platform, ParentApp. This is where any subsequent messages from the school will be sent to you.

Please note: Students first day of school has been amended since our Parent’s Information Evening to Tuesday 5th September due to the first 2 days of term now being INSET days. Year 7 students will start school on Tuesday 5th September at 8.45am.

Uniform Information

At Notre Dame Catholic College, we offer an education that combines strong family values with high academic standards and we believe having a smart uniform, good manners and considerate behaviour is the foundation to support our students to fulfil their academic potential and enjoy their time at the school.

Our uniform provider is: Trutex Schoolwear
48/50 London Road, Liverpool, L3 5NF – Telephone: 0151 709 7009
27 County Road, Liverpool, L4 3QA – Telephone: 0151 523 8422

There will be an opportunity to view our uniform and meet our uniform supplier at our Parent Information evening in June. However, you can also view our current uniform code here.

Each year group at Notre Dame continue to have their own specific ‘year group colour’ which features on their School Tie and PE Kit. Year group ties/kits provide students with a sense of belonging to their year group and also ensure the students are easily identified by year group.

  • Year 7 joining in September 2023 will have GREEN Stripe Tie and PE Kit

Year group colours will follow students as they move up each year, therefore, you do not need to purchase a new tie/PE Kit every year for your child unless you wish/need to. I.E, Students who join us in Year 7 in September 2023 will have GREEN Ties and Kits until the end of Year 11. Students who continue on to our Sixth Form will then adopt our black and white Sixth Form Uniform.

Please see the price list from our Uniform supplier, Trutex, here. Unbranded uniform items are available to purchase from Trutex or from a wide range of stores including supermarket chains such as Sainsburys, ASDA, Tesco or Marks and Spencer.

Further details and example prices of unbranded uniform items can be found on our Uniform guidance page here.

Trutex Savers Club

Trutex offer a ‘Savers Club’ service where parents / carers can pay in smaller instalments throughout the year and apply this to their child’s uniform when needed. Please contact Trutex store on County Road or London Road for further details.

Please do explore our website in full to find out more about what our school has to offer your child when they join us, including our Curriculum offer, our SEND support, our Careers offer, our Chaplaincy service to name a few. We will continue to update this section of our website with useful information to support your child’s transition, but please do not hesitate to contact us via the details above should you have any further questions.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child to Notre Dame Catholic College soon!
