Academic Life

St Paul鈥檚 School enjoys an outstanding academic tradition, which fosters a culture of scholarship, creativity and enquiry.

Home > Academic Life

Academic study is at the heart of life at St Paul鈥檚. Scholarship, perseverance and hard work are promoted in all subjects. But learning here is also well-supported, enjoyable and inspirational

Whilst examination success is important, for gifted pupils we feel it is a by-product of their broader intellectual development. We encourage pupils to develop their own passion for learning, to foster a spirit of enquiry and to become increasingly self-directed in their study. Their tutors assist them in learning how to balance their academic interests with their other commitments.
