About St Dominic Catholic Primary School
St Dominic Catholic Primary School is a primary school in HARPENDEN, Hertfordshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 234 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. The school holds an 'Outstanding' judgement from Ofsted. 81% 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 fallen by 6.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 5% of primary schools in England.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 112 in reading and 109 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 23% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). St Dominic Catholic Primary School is oversubscribed: about 10 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 31 first choices for 30 places. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 5% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
