About St Paul’s & Colet Court
St Paul’s School and St Paul’s Juniors is an independent, selective, day and boarding school for boys aged 7-18. It is situated in Barnes, south-west London, and there are more than 900 pupils.
The founder of the school, John Colet, Dean of St Paul’s Cathedral, opened the doors in 1509 with the aim to educate boys “from all nations and countries indifferently”, regardless of race, creed or social background.
The institution is formed of two schools, St Paul’s and St Paul’s Juniors (formerly known as Colet Court). The former is for boys aged 13-18 and the latter is for boys aged 7-13.
