About St Dominic's Sixth Form College

St Dominic's Sixth Form College is a state-funded Roman Catholic sixth form in Harrow, and while it does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, its oversubscription ratio offers a clear signal of local demand. The school has a capacity of 150 places, and with 34.1% of students eligible for free school meals, it serves a notably diverse intake. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, the college was rated Good overall, but inspectors awarded Outstanding marks for sixth-form provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes. This suggests that while the school may not be the first choice for every family in the borough, those who do choose it often find a focused, well-regarded environment for post-16 study. The leadership and management were rated Good, and the school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, the previous one being in 2013. For parents weighing up options, the combination of a strong sixth-form rating and a clear Catholic ethos makes this a distinctive choice within Harrow's state secondary landscape.
