About St Paul’s Catholic School:
St Paul’s is a thriving, mixed 11-19 comprehensive school with specialist training status. We have over 1800 pupils and are voluntary aided. Our Emmaus Student Support Department supports a range of difficulties from specific learning difficulties to moderate learning difficulties, physical difficulties and behaviour. We also have three specialist provisions for those with a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder, vision impairment or hearing loss.
With the Local Authority we run The Emmanuel Centre, a purpose-built facility for pupils with ASC who are academically able to access a mainstream curriculum but find the environment of a mainstream school challenging. We are the only Catholic secondary school in Milton Keynes and, with over 60 native languages spoken at St Paul’s, it’s true to say that we are a very diverse and inclusive community. Our curriculum provides a holistic education in which we enable children to develop their personal gifts and talents, their spiritual, social, moral and emotional understanding of the world, as well as their academic knowledge and skills.
Headteacher:
Mrs Jo-Anne Hoarty
Values and vision:
Our school motto, Ministerium Tuum Imple translates as Love, Serve, Do the best that is possible. All members of our community try their very best to follow Christ’s example and through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching, we educate children on how they can use their faith to guide their interactions and decisions. St Paul’s is a community of opportunities where staff and pupils are supported to use their talents and gifts and encouraged to develop new ones.

Leaders are effective because they have taken the right steps to improve the school. They show clear leadership and are well supported by staff. Governors have made significant changes to the way they work. As a result, they are very knowledgeable about the school so they successfully challenge leaders and hold them to account well. Teaching is good across all key stages because staff are committed to continually improving their practice.
