In 1509 John Colet founded St Paul’s School to educate 153 boys “from all nations and countries indifferently”. Our history is the kind that inspires bold ideas for the future.

Our Vision:

To provide an outstanding intellectual, spiritual and physical education, combining tradition with the best of the present, which prepares gifted boys for their future.
To honor John Colet’s founding commitment that St Paul’s is open to all academically eligible boys, regardless of their economic or social circumstances.
To foster a culture of scholarship, and to develop a spirit of inquiry and curiosity, through inspirational and responsive teaching.
To treat the welfare of pupils as the highest priority, and to provide individual pastoral care that promotes a boy’s independence, whilst fostering respect, tolerance, kindness, and service.
To develop and maintain the school’s facilities to ensure that the physical environment of St Paul’s sustains the excellence of its education.
To build substantive links with the local community through Pauline's voluntary service, outreach programs, and the sharing of our facilities.

Our founder was clear that education must be spiritual and holistic, not just academic. Hence his motto: Fide et liters, faith, and learning. We actively promote five core values throughout both schools. Faith, Scholarship, Humility, Character, Charity

At St Paul’s Juniors, we aim:

To create a friendly, caring environment in which pupils can feel happy and confident and where staff and pupils enjoy working with each other.
To encourage pupils to be kind, thoughtful, and supportive of each other, to acknowledge the strengths and opinions of other people, and to appreciate the value of cooperation and teamwork.
To develop the talents and interests that each child possesses, to present him with new challenges and opportunities, to encourage him to do his best at all times, and to celebrate his achievements.
To foster a sense of community, working in partnership with parents, in which the values of mutual respect, tolerance, courtesy, and consideration are encouraged.
To provide a rounded education in which academic, physical, creative, social, moral, and spiritual elements are intrinsic and important parts.
To devise and keep under review an academic curriculum that is broad, balanced, relevant, and challenging.
To provide expert high-quality teaching and interesting, varied lessons in which pupils are encouraged to think creatively and critically.
To promote the sense that St Paul’s Juniors is part of a wider local and global community and encourage an awareness and understanding of the needs and circumstances of other people.
