St Paul's School

St Paul's School, founded by John Colet in 1509, is a prestigious independent school for boys aged 7 to 18, situated on the banks of the River Thames in south west London. The school's original mission was to educate boys "from all nations and countries indifferently," regardless of race, creed or social background, and it remains committed to this vision today.

The school offers an unparalleled tutoring system, with boys assigned to a carefully chosen member of staff who guides and assists them throughout their time at St Paul's and beyond. With small class sizes and exceptional teaching quality, the high-flying academic environment encourages students to strive for excellence. In addition to academics, St Paul's provides a wealth of extracurricular opportunities, boasting over 40 societies, 35 music practice rooms, and a unique boathouse on the Thames with its own rowing tank.

St Paul's School is academically selective, welcoming boys from all backgrounds who demonstrate well above average academic ability. Entry points include 7+, 8+, 11+, 13+, and 16+, with registration deadlines often four years ahead of entry. The school consistently produces outstanding GCSE and A Level results, with around 35% of students going on to attend Oxbridge.
