St Teresa School Greno West stands on the edge of a broad, sloping playing-field bounded by Scots-pine wind-breaks that were planted by the first Dominican sisters when the school opened in 1937. Built originally as a small convent boarding school—its stone chapel and bell-tower still stand at the heart of campus—St Teresa has grown into a modern 11–18 comprehensive with 740 pupils drawn largely from the Greno, Brinsworth and Wath areas, though coaches bring children daily from Barnsley and Sheffield edges.
The main teaching block curves north-east from the historic stone building, its brick wings centred on a glass-roofed atrium known simply as ‘The Square’. Break-time echoes with trade-card swaps, GCSE flash-cards and barista-steam from Café Cor, the student-run coffee shop. Science laboratories are tucked beneath this open space; maths and languages face each other across a first-floor balcony where pinboards currently display Year 9’s Euro Space Agency app-design posters.
Three specialisms frame the timetable. St Teresa has been a Performing Arts College since 2005: 160 pupils take tuition each week in strings, brass or voice; the 70-strong Madrigal Choir tours cathedrals every summer, and the launch night of the Year 13 devised-theatre is the hottest ticket in Greno. More recently, Technology gained BIM-approved CAD studios and an electronics lab sponsored by AESSEAL. Pupils sell laser-cut jewellery at the annual Christmas Market their designs first sketched here. Finally, the school is now Pilot School for Yorkshire Carnegie Rugby; six alumni have county caps, and PE fills the fields on Tuesday evenings with 200 tag-rugby primary children coached by older students.
Pastoral care rests on the House system—Dominic, Siena, Mazzarello and Romero, each with its Dominican value and charity partner. Each Year 7 is mentored by a Year 11 and meets a tutor twice daily; the learning-support base, named St Matt’s after Old Girl turned broadcaster Martha Kirkham, logs 6,000 minutes of one-to-one support each fortnight. Behaviour is outward-looking: the school’s Eco Council is two plastic bottles short of achieving Surfers Against Sewage ‘Plastic Free’ status, and every student records at least ten annual service hours.
Academic attainment rises quietly above expected levels for intake; last year, 68 per cent gained five good GCSEs including English and Maths, while sixth-formers achieved an average B grade at A-level. Ten per cent progress to Russell Group universities, seven per cent to apprenticeships at the Advanced Manufacturing Park. Results come without oppressive pressure; corridors invite impromptu chess or Ukulele Club rehearsals.
Uniform is bottle-green blazer, grey kilt for girls, trousers for boys; Year 12 and 13 wear a charcoal-jacket version. The Dominican motto, Veritas Liberabit Vos, is engraved above the entrance, and each Friday at 2:45 p.m. the whole school falls silent for three minutes of Guided Silence in honour of St Teresa.
