Notre Dame High School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Notre Dame High School?
The catchment area for Notre Dame High School is the geographic zone Sheffield uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

Sheffield publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to Notre Dame High School is managed by Sheffield and typically includes both faith criteria and catchment area proximity. The weighting given to each criterion depends on the school's published oversubscription policy, which is reviewed annually.

Notre Dame High School has a published admission number of 1328 places. 1492 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 112%. At 112% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Sheffield allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.
The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 15.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, below the national average. The school draws primarily from a lower-deprivation part of Sheffield.
