Welcome to St Paul's Catholic School
Welcome to St Paul's Sixth Form. The words of St Paul, on which the Mission of the school is based, mean that we are committed to the care of young people and the success of every young person in a way that is rooted in the values of the gospel.We expect students to set themselves high standards in their work, their extra-curricular activities and their relationships with others. We challenge them to do so and support them so that they will achieve. We do this to enable them to make the most of the opportunities offered by St Paul's and to lay the foundation of success and personal development.Sixth Form students at St Paul's enjoy a wide range of courses, staff who have rigorous expectations and who help young people to achieve them, and rates of progress over several years place St Paul's in the top 10% of all Post-16 providers in the country. Students are encouraged and prepared to apply to demanding courses at universities, including Oxbridge, as well as more directly to the world of work through apprenticeships and training programmes.In the Sixth Form at St Paul's each student is in the fortunate position of having a well equipped, modern school and we are determined that St Paul's will be second to none in the quality of its staff, curriculum, teaching and learning.We work with students in developing the gifts they possess, whatever they may be, so that they are well prepared to take their place in the adult world confidently.
