Welcome to St. Pauls C of E Junior School Welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit our website! I hope it gives you a flavour of what is on offer at our wonderful school, alongside some practical information for parents.
I am extremely proud to be the headteacher at St. Paul s: a small, friendly school which has served the parish of St. Paul's and beyond since 1843. Our dedicated team believe in providing the children with a wealth of learning opportunities designed to nurture the whole child.
An emphasis is placed on active, outdoor learning as it improves both children's wellbeing and their attainment. We are lucky enough to have amazing school grounds with an acre of woodland, a pond, a large playground and field to make this happen.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
