School philosophy: The school believes that learning should be challenging, inclusive and empowering. Pupils need to be stretched and encouraged to go beyond their perceived limits. At the same time, the school celebrates the differences in young people, recognising that they display different types of intelligence, develop in different ways and at different speeds. Ultimately, their learning must empower them for success beyond school; they need to fulfil their academic promise, gain qualifications and emerge with all the personal and intellectual skills needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Academic record: St. Paul’s School’s commitment to broad educational experiences opens many opportunities to pupils who go on to leading universities around the world. The school’s 2022-2023’s cohort of boys and girls have done brilliantly, securing great results. The average points score of St. Paul’s pupils achieving the IB Diploma programme is 34.6 points. Extra-curricular: The school prides itself on an excellent co-curricular programme – there are a wide range of activities on offer both during the school day and after school to cater for all interests. The wide range of clubs, societies, visits, sporting, music and inter-house activities all enrich the vibrant Paulean learning experience.

Notable achievements and alumni: St. Paul’s pupils have gone on to a range of different careers and vocations.
