notredame senior school at cobham surrey

[Mellisa]

can anyone from cobham advice me how good and academic notredame senior school at cobham is are they academically strong or not or just a nice caring school but not academic where do the girls end up any idea

I was friends with a girl and her sister who went there when I was in my teens, about 10 years ago. They both hated it, were bullied, had no friends in the school and left nervous wrecks with below average GCSEs.

Doesn't look like much has changed.

I'm really sorry to hear these horror stories but I have friends who have daughters either currently at the school or who have just left. All of them speak very highly of Mr Plummer and where there have been incidents these have been dealt with swiftly and effectively. What I hear from other parents and teachers at our Prep is that it is a caring and nurturing environment which takes a diverse range of girls and gets the best from them.

Anon, I have no interest in this school but I have reported your post. This is an education forum and people post comments to help other users choose a school. Personal attacks on individuals who can't respond are not fair or acceptable.

Thanks cake - was about to do the same thing. Obviously some agenda there.....

Yep, sacked member of staff, unhappy exgirlfriend, untipped car washer - who knows? but it's not helping anyone looking for a school.

I would like to apologise for my previous post, it will be deleted as soon as possible by the mumsnet team.

LOL, have you been put on the naughty step by the school for being less than complimentary about them on Mumsnet?

I guess they found it easy to identify you from your DD's starting point

WTAF?

Do any mums at Notre Dame Prep, past or present, notice that it is money driven?
I have seen many parents taking their kids out of NDS over the last year. If you have a story, good or bad. Let us know of your experience in 2018. I am having serious doubts that this school cares for the kids the way they say they do. My story is that I feel they don't do enough in the classroom and rely more on us as parents to do the heavy lifting.
This is a good thread as there are some valid points made. I'd like to see some comments closer to 2018 going into the New academic year. Thanks.

Sounds like someone has a chip on their shoulder in relation to this school. I have heard nothing but good things about it.

i think you mean grudge and i believe the poster was referring to a previous school
