St Dominic Catholic Primary School
About St Dominic Catholic Primary School
Parents considering St Dominic Catholic Primary School will find strong signals of satisfaction from those already in the gate. The school is heavily oversubscribed, with 240 places on roll and a clear demand that outstrips its capacity — a practical indicator that local families rate it highly. While the data does not include a specific parent recommend percentage, the combination of a full school and an Outstanding Ofsted rating from its most recent inspection in 2023 suggests a school that delivers on its promises. The school serves children from age 3 to 11, with nursery provision available, and is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary in St Albans, Hertfordshire. Its headteacher, Lynn Wilson, leads a mixed-gender school that draws families from across the local area. The nearest Outstanding-rated alternative is Crabtree Infants' School, 0. 8 km away, so St Dominic sits within a strong local cluster of high-performing primaries.
