"The pupils at St. Dominic's receive an outstandingly broad, balanced and diverse education. The School has placed every child matters at the heart of everything it does.

Our mission statement is “Growth in mind, body and spirit” and this belief in the development of the ‘whole person’, including each child’s spiritual, physical and moral well-being, as well as academic progress, is at the heart of our school.
A healthy body is a healthy mind and each child's health, fitness and well-being is important and encouraged. We provide a wide and varied range of sport, music and drama activities throughout the normal school week. Pupil participation is encouraged with friendly competitions, drama productions and working as a team in a fun and positive way.
We provide a broad and balanced curriculum with enhancement and enrichment, which enables pupils to learn about the world, the environment and themselves in a productive way, forming a solid foundation of experiences and faculties on which to build in adult life.
We have a long track record of success with consistently high pass rates at GCSE. This, combined with our unique caring ethos and modern facilities, has resulted in a very happy and successful school that we are proud to say continues to teach generation after generation. St Dominic's girls are confident, happy, astute and focused.
We would be delighted to welcome you to the school so that you can experience for yourself why we are so special and look forward to hearing from you.
