Has anyone got any experience of Notre Dame? Positive or negative comments appreciated.

Where is it? There are several schools called that.

Unfortunately, our experience of Notre Dame in Cobham is not a good one. The grounds are beautiful and they won a PR award but that's all the school is- good at PR and a shiny surface with a rotting middle.

When you question anything, you get shunned and shot down. The education is not worth the money and those who shout the loudest and are the most entitled get what they want. The school is full of gossip amongst teachers and parents. I wondered why so many parents keep quiet when they have concerns and i realised that it is because once you question, you get black booked and this is how the school survives.
Bullying is not tackled in the long term and the girls that are the bitchiest are the ones that survive but this is because this is the culture that filters down from the top.
I would not recommend.

Hi, sorry you've not had a good experience at ND. I'm a reviewer for The Good Schools Guide and due to visit the school shortly. Would you be interested in elaborating on your experiences (in confidence) to me via DM?
