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 recent 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 “Always our best for God, each other and ourselves” 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.
