Welcome
from the
High Mistress

As soon as you walk through the door of St Paul’s you feel its warmth and creative energy. Ours is a welcoming and vibrant community, where laughter, friendships and activity abound. 

A network of support is combined with a liberal ideology; we have no uniform, few rules and relationships are relaxed, yet respectful. Students are given the freedom to embrace their individuality, develop their own interests and discover their potential. Academic curiosity and enthusiasm abound as students are encouraged to think deeply and explore ideas beyond the curriculum.

Outside of the classroom, rich and varied co-curricular provision caters to all interests and passions and broadens horizons. Music and drama are encouraged and open to all and are performed to a very high standard. The art studio is an oasis of creative energy and sport is played with energy and determination.

Our pastoral programme aims to help our students develop into active, empathetic leaders and global citizens and our partnerships, volunteering and service programmes are central to school life with students encouraged to engage with the world around them. 

The bursary scheme provides us with a meaningful opportunity to offer the full breadth of our education to talented students whatever their background, and to enrich the school beyond measure with their energy and inspiration.

A St Paul’s education is rich in possibility and opportunity. Over the years our alumnae have contributed significantly on a national and global stage. From access to an incredible range of visiting speakers to an extensive careers and higher education programme, an education at St Paul’s is an extraordinary preparation for life. 

I hope our website will give you some insight into life at St Paul’s and I look forward to welcoming you to one of our open days, where you will be able to discover this wonderful school for yourself.
