Joint statement from the Diocese of Westminster and Camden Council

 
The Governing Body of St Dominic’s Catholic Primary School has decided to launch a consultation, starting on 12 October and running until 30 November 2022, into whether the school should close. If the proposal went ahead, all pupils would be offered places at alternative local schools – including local Catholic primary schools.

The Governors’ decision to consult on closing the school has primarily been made because the number of primary school-age pupils locally - and across London - has significantly reduced. Despite the steps taken by school governors and leadership of St Dominic’s to actively market the school to increase enrolment, the pupil roll has been below 50% and falling over the past three years, adding significant financial pressure on the school.

Have your say before 30 November
