Our Catholic Ethos
A vibrant faith community
We do not believe it is good enough to be called Catholic only by name. We look to ensure our distinctive identity and ethos guides every aspect of the life of the school.
St Paul’s is a vibrant, caring faith community that lives this out in a modern and engaging way. We look to encourage students to have an active faith by leading liturgy, serving others in the local community and going on retreat and pilgrimage.

Every Child Counts
Fulfilling their potential
Our exam results show very high achievement for students of all abilities and this consistently places us in the top comprehensive schools nationally.
We have achieved three successive outstanding gradings from Ofsted. We believe this allows us to establish a culture where we are looking to continually improve, innovate and do things better.
We work hard to ensure we appoint outstanding teachers and support staff and this gives students the 'best deal' in every way. Happy, well-motivated students, taught by outstanding teachers will always fulfil their potential.
We're proud of all that our students achieve

E-Learning Scheme
Education for the modern world
Technology, used at the right time and in the right way, can have a profound impact on your child’s learning. We encourage students, through technology-supported learning, to develop higher-order thinking skills such as critical thinking, analysis, evaluation, creativity and self-enquiry, essential for becoming an outstanding learner.
In 2004, we established the St Paul's E-Learning Foundation to help us achieve our vision, that every child at St Paul’s should share the benefits of e-learning with the use of a digital mobile device, for use at school and at home.
We invite families to make a regular monthly donation to the e-learning foundation, and as a registered charity, we can claim Gift Aid from the Inland Revenue. If enough donations and Gift Aid are received, we can provide a device to all members of the scheme.
iPads in class
In Science, we use apps like E-Clicker, Socrative and ActivePrompt for instant dynamic feedback about students' understanding.
Technology enables us to use innovative practices like the flipped classroom where learning takes place at home, freeing up the teacher to support students in class. We use tools like Aurasma and Showbie for collaboration and assessment.
iBooks are a great way for students to study both pre-twentieth century and contemporary texts.
The app allows students to digitally annotate chapters, view instant definitions of words and phrases and read aloud passages for support. ExplainEverything is a great app for sharing formative feedback about assessment.
The College Day
The fundamentals
Navigating secondary school can be a very different experience for students when moving from a primary setting. Students move classrooms and teachers throughout the day. Students will be guided and supported through this transition so they feel a welcomed part of our community.
-
The College Day
The College day runs from 8:30am until 3:00pm and is usually made up of tutor time or assembly, 6 lessons and 2 breaks.
-
Timetable
We follow a two-week timetable; Week A and Week B. Students will be given their timetable during the first week of term where it will be fully explained. Their timetable will also be published on the Student App and the Parent App and emailed to parents for convenience.
