About Us

Our school is a dynamic, forward-thinking learning community for pupils aged 4-11. We seek to raise pupil aspirations and aim to equip them with the skills to be independent and resilient, life-long learners. We have a dedicated and supportive staffing team, committed to raising standards and encouraging pupils to ‘Walk Tall’.

Our Ofsted in September 23 recognised that ‘leaders have created a supportive environment where staff and pupils feel welcome and respected’.

St Paul’s holds strong Christian values which permeate through all that we do: “All different, all gifted, all parts of the same body.” As a UNICEF Rights Respecting Gold school, children’s rights are embedded across the school and pupils are aware of their responsibilities as global citizens and are strong advocates for fairness.
