About St. Dominic's Grammar School
St. Dominic's Grammar School
Bargate Street, Brewood
South Staffordshire
ST19 9BA
United Kingdom
Calm and tranquil in an enchanting rural setting, St. Dominic's Grammar School in Brewood is at the forefront of independent education. Founded in 1920 by the sisters of the Dominican Order, our School has a long established history of delivering excellence in the teaching and development of young people, all of whom emerge from education as confident, well-rounded individuals, equipped to take their place in the world. Whilst the Dominican sisters are no longer involved, those qualities remain the ethos of St. Dominic's – striving for academic excellence and an equal emphasis on inspiring growth in mind, body and spirit; which is as true today as it was when the School was founded.
Academically, St. Dominic's is excellent, producing some of the best exam results in the region. However, we offer so much more than a first-class education and believe that our School is centred around enriching the lives of everyone through innovative learning, creativity, sport, expressive arts, STEM and a sense of community that will last a lifetime.
