St. Dominic's Grammar School

Mind, body and spirit are the organising ideas in St. Dominic's Grammar School's all-through provision. The Brewood setting runs from pre-preparatory learning to A level, with flexibility intended to support individual learning needs as pupils progress. Early years, prep, senior school and Sixth Form sit within one connected framework, giving the curriculum a continuous rather than compartmentalised shape.

Year 7 entry combines an 11+ assessment in English, mathematics and verbal reasoning with a previous-school reference and a conversation about the pupil's enthusiasm and commitment. Applicants for other year groups complete appropriate testing, a day visit and an interview. Sixth Form entry depends on GCSE performance and interview, with a bespoke and personalised curriculum for older pupils.

Two double PE lessons each week, before-school clubs, lunchtime sessions and extended-day activities take learning beyond the core timetable. Scholarship routes cover academic work, sport, performing arts and art, with auditions or application evidence where appropriate. The breadth of opportunity sits alongside the stated aim of dynamic teaching and subject choice.

The admissions policy welcomes a wide ability range while asking applicants to show that they can access the curriculum. Direct admissions, individual assessment, subject options and regular co-curricular activity give this Brewood community its particular independent character, from early years through Sixth Form.
