About St Dominic's Priory School
St. Dominic’s Priory School is an independent Catholic school located in Stone, Staffordshire where they welcome pupils of all faiths and backgrounds. The school is co-educational, and educates children from pre-school to year 11.
They are ranked as one of the top performing non-selective schools in the area, and once again this year their pupils achieved excellent GCSE grades, continuing the school’s reputation for academic success by accomplishing a notable pass rate across all subjects of 100%. This only highlights the school’s strong academic tradition and reputation for giving an outstanding all-round education.
The school creates a love of learning in a friendly and happy environment; where they nurture individuality and an acceptance of others’ strengths and weaknesses, so each child is advised and guided to explore and pursue their own interests and encouraged to succeed in all that they want to achieve. This was recognised when they were awarded an ‘Excellent’ in their last Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI).
They excel in the creative and performing arts and their pupils enjoy participating in activities, including art exhibitions, music concerts, school productions and dance groups. A busy programme of sports, cultural events, speakers, visits, clubs, and activities enhance school life. There is something for everyone at St. Dominic’s.
