I am very proud to serve St Paul's Catholic College as Headteacher. St Paul's is a happy and thriving community where children are well-cared for, happy and valued, in a school that has an established reputation for excellence. Our College provides education on behalf of the Westminster Diocese and is part of the Ascension Catholic Academy Trust (ACAT).
St Paul's continues to go from strength to strength with each year that passes. We continue to be an Ofsted accredited `Outstanding Provider of Education following our recent inspection in January 2024. We also have an Outstanding judgement in the Section 48 Inspection of Religious Education and Catholic Life.
The Catholic life of the school is at the centre of all we do, which is reflected in our mission statement "Achieving Excellence, Learning to Serve". We have a culture of serving our community with everyone working together , in order to achieve excellence in all that we do.
The cornerstone of these high achievements is a dedicated and hardworking staff who are proud to work at St Paul's. Our staff want to do their best for all our children and strive for excellence in everything they do.
