About St Paul's Girls' School
St Paul's Girls' School is one of the UK's leading independent secondary schools for girls aged 11-18. We offer a classical yet forward-thinking education, providing talented young women with a dynamic and stimulating environment in which to learn and develop as individuals.
Education here is not just about passing exams, but rather about a sheer joy of learning. Individual research, discussion and debate are at the heart of our teaching. All students are encouraged to dig deeper, to explore ideas and to develop their own particular interests. Our broad and progressive curriculum places emphasis on creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship and is rich in opportunities to learn about new technologies and engage in cross-curricular projects. The aim is to give students the skills and confidence to lead the way in a modernising and fast-moving world.
This love of academic discovery is enriched by extensive co-curricular provision, the kindest and most individual of pastoral care and a commitment to partnerships and service to others.
