Being guided by the principles of our Catholic faith and acknowledging Christ
as our Leader and Teacher, we strive for excellence and creativity in forward
thinking education, committing ourselves to the preparation of our learners
by instilling in them a sense of responsibility and attempting to ensure that
they leave St Dominic’s Priory with a solid foundation on which to build their
future in high school and beyond.

We do this by:

·         promoting Gospel values

·         creating a happy atmosphere, where all learners are accepted as
they are, in a family environment

·         instilling in every child a feeling of equal importance, belonging,
pride and loyalty to the school

·         working together in justice and love

·         worshipping and celebrating the Sacraments together

·         inspiring the Priory Family to appreciate each other, the
environment and God’s world

·         caring for the whole person and striving to develop the spiritual,
academic, cultural, physical, emotional and social needs of the
children and encouraging each to maximise their own potential
in every one of these spheres

·         maintaining our belief that parental involvement is essential and
encouraging appropriate structures both formal and informal

·         believing in a holistic education with the emphasis on fostering
a sense of respect, responsibility, self-worth and discipline in each
learner

·         remaining flexible to the demands that society will continue to
place on us in order to achieve our goals

·         encouraging our learners to be true to the motto of the school,
VERITAS, which means TRUTH
