Dormston is a large secondary school with over 1100 students in years 7 to 11. It is situated in the heart of Sedgley, near Dudley in the West Midlands and we are honoured to be a part of, and support our local community. Dormston has a long and proud tradition, having been established in 1935 and originally consisting of a single two-storey building. We have grown considerably since those early days but still place the same emphasis on providing quality education for every student. We believe that ‘Knowledge Is Strength.’
Our vision “aims to inspire confident, motivated students who have a passion for learning and are fully equipped to contribute to society” and we expect every pupil to commit to our core values of:
Effort, Knowledge, Respect, Responsibility, Resilience
Thank you for taking the time to visit our school’s website. Everyone connected to Dormston is very proud of our school. Over the past few years the community has worked tirelessly to create a school where our young people can enjoy and reach their academic potential. Standards are high and improving year on year.
Dormston offers a broad range of subjects in all years. All subjects can enrich a child’s life and understanding. We complement these with extra-curricular opportunities designed to add enjoyment and build cultural capital.
We look forward to welcoming Year 6 students and their Parents/Carers to our Open Evening on Thursday 17 October 2024 at 6.00 – 8.00pm.
There will be addresses from the Headteacher and guided tours from current students providing valuable insights to school life at Dormston. Heads of Department and other teaching staff will also be available on the evening to answer any questions in preparation for your child’s transition into secondary education.
