Headteacher

LOVE – LEARN - BELIVE

Blessed Dominic Catholic Primary School is a vibrant, fully subscribed two form entry school judged to be Outstanding in all areas by OFSTED (2019) and the Diocese of Westminster (Dec 2021). We are a thriving, multicultural Catholic community with passionate and dedicated staff, governors and parents, committed to achieving outstanding results in all areas of school life. In September 2019, we moved into a brand new building and have access to the latest technology, resources and a learning approach that supports pupil wellbeing and creativity.

At Blessed Dominic Catholic Primary School, we pride ourselves on being a culturally diverse family. We seek to instil, in every child that we nurture, the joy and wonder of learning.

As we journey together in Christ, we develop children’s resilience, intellectual curiosity and creativity through our positive learning behaviours. We nurture and cherish the unique talents of all, empowering them to flourish and grow into life-long learners.
