The initial aim was to provide an excellent education for the children of Nottingham’s Catholic community. At that point, and up until 1990, the school had institutional ties to the Diocese and Saint Barnabas’ Cathedral.The Sisters of Mercy relinquished control of the school in 1990 to a Trust made up of parents and civic-minded individuals who, to this day, remain guardians of its traditional ethos and high standards.
