History

Notre Dame School was founded at Burwood House in 1938 by nuns from the Company of Our Lady Mary. In 2003 the school’s ownership passed from The Company of Mary Our Lady to a charitable trust, and is now managed by the trustees and a board of governors, several of whom are Sisters from the religious institute. The present senior school headmistress was appointed in 2003 and the prep school headmistress was appointed in 2019. [1]

Anniversary

Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, Archbishop of Westminster, was the main celebrant at a special Mass held at the school to celebrate both the 70th anniversary of the school and 400 years of the Company of Mary Our Lady on Tuesday 15 May 2007.
