Welcome
I am very proud to serve St Paul's Catholic College as Headteacher.
St Paul's is a happy and thriving community where children are well-cared for, happy and valued, in a school that has an established reputation for excellence. Our College provides education on behalf of the Westminster Diocese and is part of the Ascension Catholic Academy Trust (ACAT).
St Paul’s continues to go from strength to strength with each year that passes. We continue to be an Ofsted accredited `Outstanding Provider of Education’ following our recent inspection in January 2024. We also have an ‘Outstanding’ judgement in the Section 48 Inspection of Religious Education and Catholic Life.
The Catholic life of the school is at the centre of all we do, which is reflected in our mission statement "Achieving Excellence, Learning to Serve". We have a culture of serving our community with everyone working together, in order to achieve excellence in all that we do.
The cornerstone of these high achievements is a dedicated and hardworking staff who are proud to work at St Paul's. Our staff want to do their best for all our children and strive for excellence in everything they do.
We are delighted once again this year with our best GCSE results ever! 30% of all GCSEs awarded were graded at 8 - 9, with 46% of students achieving grades 7 – 9, with 75% securing a grade 5+ in both English and Maths. Our students’ hard work, dedication and perseverance in their studies have paid off and we are incredibly proud of everything they have achieved.
We are also celebrating the outstanding achievements of our Year 13 students in this year’s A Level and BTEC examinations, with pupils achieving 85% A* - C and 100% Distinction* - Merit at BTEC. This has enabled many of our students to gain their first choice university places/apprenticeships.
Our GCSE and A Level results consistently place us in the top 5% of schools nationally; a true reflection of our pupils high level of ambition and dedication to their studies.
St Paul's is on a continuous journey of improvement, and we place our children at the centre of all our decisions. Our aim is simply to provide the best education in the country whilst ensuring that children feel safe, secure and happy. Each child is unique and deserves the best we can give them.
Come in and see us, visitors are always welcome at any time.
God Bless.
