The school is the amalgamation of several different institutions, most established by the Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, founded by Saint Julie Billiart.

[1] In 2014, there were plans to move the school to a site on Beaconsfield Road adjacent to St. Francis Xavier's College,[2] but a revised plan was subsequently implemented to build largely on the existing site.

The footprint of the new building required the use of some land from the adjacent field, which was exchanged for a much larger area of privately held historic woodland.

This woodland is now accessible to all, increasing the size of Woolton Woods parkland for the benefit and enjoyment of Wooltonians.
