A Word from the Head

A belief in the development of the ‘whole person’ is at the heart of St Dominic’s. We believe girls perform best in a single-sex environment where they are more focussed and committed to achieving their personal best, whilst being supportive of each other in academic and creative areas.

We believe each girl has unique and special talents and we act to develop those gifts and talents so that they may achieve their full potential within a caring environment. We aim to develop the pupils academically, socially, creatively and spiritually. It is also important that they are happy and enjoy their time here.

A wide range of opportunities are provided to help our pupils emerge confident, articulate, compassionate and full of enthusiasm for the outside world. Our traditional values and standards are combined with modern facilities and a passion for the future development of the individual.

Small class sizes facilitate individual attention and enable teachers to build a profile of each pupil; strengths and weaknesses are diagnosed and all work is tailored to match individual needs.

We offer a broad and balanced curriculum with enrichment and enhancement. Sport, Art, Design, Drama, Music and Singing all play a vitally important role at St Dominic’s. They reinforce the values of the school and help to build confidence.

We have an enviable reputation for excellence, being rated as outstanding by the Independent School's Inspectorate and a consistently high pass rate at GCSE. With the addition of our new state-of-the-art Sixth Form and Performing Arts Centre, we plan to continue this record of academic achievement.

We believe that St Dominic’s offers a complete education and a learning journey that prepares your daughter for life and the challenges that face her in becoming a responsible citizen of tomorrow.

We are a forward-thinking school and we hope you will want to share in our success and become part of our learning community.
