Regulatory Compliance and Educational Quality Inspection Report

St Dominic’s Priory School – placing pupils at the heart of every decision

We’re delighted to share that our ISI inspection in October 2025 resulted in a fantastic report, confirming that our school met all parts of the new ISI inspection framework.

The inspectors had so many positive things to say about our wonderful school. They praised our “calm, respectful environment” where pupils feel they belong, and highlighted how the strong sense of teamwork and community can be felt throughout the school.

We are incredibly proud of our pupils and it was fantastic to see the inspectors recognise just how happy, secure and confident they are, thanks to the strong foundations put in place by our staff every day to support their emotional wellbeing.

They also commented on our pupils’ enthusiasm for learning and the warm, positive relationships between pupils and staff, built on trust, care and mutual respect. We are also very happy that the report recognised the consistently high quality of teaching across all subjects, with especially strong results in English and maths, where attainment is above the national average.

This lovely feedback is a real credit to our dedicated staff and the caring, supportive community of which we are so proud. Most of all, it reflects what we already know and love about our school and confirms our commitment to always putting pupils at the heart of everything we do.
