The school educates roughly 80 pupils aged 3 to 11. 86% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 13.0 percentage points year on year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year.

Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made St Dominic CofE Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 11 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 7.8%. There are about 16.0 pupils per teacher. St Dominic CofE Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
