ST PAUL’S SCHOOL

© St Paul’s School, September 2017

History St Paul’s School was founded by John Colet, Dean of St Paul’s Cathedral. Colet’s father was Sir Henry Colet, twice Lord Mayor of London.

As his sole surviving child, John Colet inherited substantial wealth in 1505 to bolster his own independent means. Colet used his whole fortune to endow St Paul’s School, making it the largest school in England.

In the 16th century, it was usual for school governance to be entrusted to the Church, but Colet believed that “he yet found the least corruption” in married laymen. He therefore chose “the most honest and faithfull felowshipp of the mercers of London”, the premier guild of the City of London – of which his father had been a leading member – as “patrones and defenders governours and Rulers” of his new school.

Colet intended his school to provide a Christian and humanist education. He was helped and advised in his planning by Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam, the most famous scholar of the day, who wrote 4

textbooks for the school’s use and assisted in the recruiting of staff. Under Colet’s statutes, there were to be 153 scholars (a reference to the miraculous draught of fishes, John XXI, 11) “of all countres and nacions indifferently”.

The first building, sited by St Paul’s Cathedral, was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. The school subsequently moved four times, due to growing demand, before finally settling at the present 45 acre, riverside site in 1968.

The School has survived the Plague, the Great Fire of London and the Civil War, and in 1870 was one of only two day schools included by the Clarendon Commission as one of the ‘nine great public schools’ of England.

St Paul’s Juniors was founded in West Kensington in 1881. Originally known as Bewsher’s and then Colet Court, the School relocated across the river along with St Paul’s School to the current site in Barnes in 1968.

Message from the High Master St Paul’s School has a famous reputation and a fine tradition for nurturing scholarship and opportunity.

It has achieved its eminence by providing an excellent, all-round education for academic boys year after year for five hundred years. Yet St Paul’s does not live in its illustrious past because it is the present generation of boys – not those of the past – who sustain its reputation and who bring life to its tradition.

This is a particularly exciting time to join the School as we have recently completed the construction of a stunning new Drama Centre, featuring the Samuel Pepys theatre; constructed a RIBA award-winning Science building; unveiled new dining, library and classroom facilities overlooking the Thames and are soon to complete additional classroom facilities and a new atrium which will become the hub of the School.

The process of admissions is an extension of our culture and tradition, and so we spend considerable time and effort upon it. Similarly, every good parent invests considerable time and effort trying to ensure that they select the right school for their child.

This book is conceived as a means of providing you with the background information required to inform your choice.

It is very rewarding to lead the School at such an important time, and a privilege to be entrusted with the education of some of the brightest and best young talent in the country. We want our pupils to develop a clear sense of their obligations and responsibilities, and to equip them with the skills to serve and to lead global society long after they have left St Paul’s.

I hope that St Paul’s is the right school for your son.

We wish to admit highly able, committed and curious boys; to inform and to stimulate their scholastic interests well beyond the examination syllabus; to provide a wide range of opportunities for development outside the classroom; and to promote courtesy and good mental health.

Message from the Head of St Paul’s Juniors Choosing the right school for your son is a huge decision.

We all want our children to be the best that they can be, sometimes the end results are the driver which parents use to shape this decision. In reality it is your son’s journey through school, rather than his exam results at the end, which shapes him as a human being.

St Paul’s Juniors is an academic choice, for scholarly boys who have the capacity to do well.

This is just the starting point.

10

We want to fire your sons with a passion for learning, a relentless curiosity to find out more, a thirst to question and a desire to challenge themselves. We want them to take risks and develop grit. As well as in the classroom, this may also be on the sports fields, the stage or through music. The richness of the opportunities that we offer, on the combined St Paul’s site, is very special.

Every boy who enters the School is unique, with his own individual

skills and talents. We aim to guide your son through these vital formative years, ensuring that we nurture his individuality whilst fostering the skill sets and confidence that he needs to thrive when he moves to the seniors at 13. Most importantly of all we want him to love being a St Paul’s boy.

St Paul’s Juniors

Pastoral Care

St Paul’s Juniors attracts bright, enthusiastic boys who are inquisitive and eager to learn. Divided into three age-appropriate parts, St Paul’s Juniors shares facilities and expertise with the senior part of the School, and offers a secure and nurturing environment in which to develop and grow.

We are very much aware that boys need to be happy and confident to enjoy life at school and to do their best, which is why we put such emphasis on pastoral care of the highest quality. Boys are listened to and their opinions and feelings are valued.

Boys joining the School at 7 and 8 have their own dedicated classrooms where the majority of their lessons are taught by form tutors, supported by two classroom assistants. With the help of our form, house and ‘buddy’ systems, new boys soon feel part of the community and get to know the school routines quickly. The younger boys experience the wider school for science, sport and the arts, using the superb on-site facilities, including the science labs, music school, Store 81 (the drama studio), sports hall, swimming pool and dojo.

Boys joining at 11 quickly settle into life at the Juniors, supported by the ‘buddy’ system and by an adventurous residential trip that helps to develop new friendships and bind the year group together in September.

The great majority of boys will move on to the senior part of the School at 13+.

Break and lunch times are important opportunities for the boys to make friends, play together and take part in activities and clubs. With such a variety of spaces and opportunities available, it is virtually impossible to be bored.

There are times, however, when a little additional support is required and our teachers are trained to look out for any problems or difficulties, no matter how small. The form tutor is always the first point of contact for pupils and parents.

In addition, there is a large back-up team of supportive adults, including the classroom assistants, senior pastoral leaders, safeguarding staff, the nurses, school counsellor, school doctor and head of learning support.

Curriculum Academic

Games

Boys are extremely successful in a wide variety of academic pursuits. The vast majority achieve one of the two top levels in the English Speaking Board examinations in the Upper First Year; many win gold, silver or bronze in the Junior Mathematical Olympiad, and several boys are highly commended in the Townsend Warner History competition every year.

All boys play games twice a week and there are regular midweek or Saturday morning fixtures. By fielding as many teams as possible, we aim to ensure that every boy will have the opportunity of representing the School. Rugby and football are played in the autumn and spring terms with cricket, tennis and athletics on offer in the summer.

Fencing, aikido, fives, squash, badminton, table tennis and swimming are available all year round.

Whilst pursuing high academic standards, the School takes seriously its role in developing personal and social skills. PSHE & Citizenship and Theology & Philosophy lessons help prepare boys for their place in the adult world and a wide range of themes is covered in assemblies, which provide a communal start to most school days.

Computing, Music, Art and Drama broaden and enrich the curriculum, and opportunities are taken to engage in cross-curricular and interdisciplinary projects.

i Three of the St Paul’s Juniors Houses, Ash, Oak and Thorn, are taken from Rudyard Kipling’s poem “A Tree Song.” Beech was added as a reminder of a particularly fine copper beech tree in the garden of Wellington College, Berkshire, where young Paulines were evacuated during the Second World War.

Extra-Curricular The breadth of societies, clubs and activities on offer is extensive, even for a large independent school, and ranges from history and debating to chess, coding and cookery.

Individual music lessons are available on a wide variety of instruments. Two school orchestras, three choirs and several ensembles cater for boys of all standards and there are chances to perform at school assemblies, concerts and recitals.

Whole school productions, public speaking and playwriting competitions, art exhibitions, workshops, visits, team building expeditions, field trips and guest speakers further enrich life outside the classroom for boys at St Paul’s Juniors.

Exploration beyond the classroom enables boys to relate what they learn in lessons to the world outside.

of increasing awareness among pupils of those who are less fortunate than themselves.

Social Responsibility We encourage the boys to understand that with opportunity comes responsibility.

We aim to be in touch with the outside world, and we place great store by the values of tolerance, understanding and service. All characters and backgrounds are celebrated and welcome here.

Our diverse society reflects the multicultural and international city to which we belong and prepares boys for a future of work and service in the modern, interconnected world.

Through our charitable initiatives, boys are actively encouraged to give of themselves in the local community.

It’s an ideal way of getting boys to appreciate that there is life outside their school.

Transition to the Senior School The junior and senior parts of the School work closely to ensure the transition is smooth. Several members of staff teach in both parts of the School and Heads of Departments co-ordinate schemes of work across the 7-18 age range under the Directors of Studies.

Progress through the whole of St Paul’s

School depends on a boy’s ongoing good work and conduct. There is no particular exam or hurdle that he must pass.

A number of scholarships are awarded at the end of Year 8 based on a boy’s performance over the previous two years and in the Year 7 and Year 8 end-of-year exams.

The friendship that a boy and his family develop with his tutor lasts throughout his time at St Paul’s School and often beyond.

13+

Pastoral Care – Tutor System The St Paul’s tutor system is widely regarded as one of the intrinsic elements that drive our thriving community.

Adapted from the successful nurturing model of many universities, the system is praised by every Pauline and his parents.

Every tutor is carefully selected for each boy and will stay with the boy throughout his time at St Paul’s School. Tutors will have two, or occasionally three, boys from each year group and will guide and help the boys throughout their school lives. The tutor groups meet daily bringing the older and younger boys together. Pupils learn from each other about school life and friendships are developed: younger boys soon find they have allies in the older years and older boys learn how best to pass on their experience.

Tutors are also mentors and soundingboards for each boy as he navigates his way through school life – juggling commitments in the Fifth Form, finalising decisions about university courses in the Upper Eighth. The knowledge a tutor acquires of a boy’s achievements and abilities is invaluable in helping the individual pupil to flourish and to be happy.

St Paul’s School aims to become a beacon for safeguarding practices within the Independent sector. These practices underpin everything we do.

19

Academic We are proud of our outstanding academic tradition, which fosters a culture of scholarship, creativity and leadership, but the real academic strength of St Paul’s is that discussion in the classroom is not constrained by the examined curriculum.

Whilst examination success is important, for gifted boys we feel it is a by-product of their broader intellectual development.

Boys are encouraged 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.

Boys follow a curriculum to IGCSE/GCSE and then to A Level or Pre-U. With the help and guidance of specialist teachers, boys are encouraged to explore beyond the curriculum and push the boundaries of academia.

20

Core Subjects at GCSE All boys take these subjects to GCSE: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English Language, English Literature, Mathematics.

Options for GCSE Boys also choose an additional five GCSE subjects: a creative subject chosen from Art & Design, Drama, Engineering (Electronics, Product Design, Systems & Control), Music and four further subjects, including a modern foreign language, chosen from Ancient History, Computing, French, Geography, German, Greek, History, Italian, Latin, Russian, Spanish.

Options for A Level and Pre-U All courses are two-year linear courses, leading straight to an A Level or Pre-U in Year 13. The following subjects are available: Ancient History, Art & Design, Biology, Chemistry, Computing, Economics, English Literature, French, Further Mathematics, Geography, German, Greek, History, Italian, Latin, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Physics, Politics, Russian, Spanish, Theatre Studies. In addition, a range of Extended Projects is offered in Year 12, including Engineering.

Pupils excel in their academic and intellectual development, and achieve exceptional standards in public examinations, sport and performing arts.

More boys are now rowing than ever before. Taking home an unprecedented eight medals and the Queen Mother Cup, at the National Schools Regatta in 2017 and the 1st VIII winning the Princess Elizabeth Cup at Henley in 2015, we can justly claim to be one of the pre-eminent rowing schools in the UK.

i St Paul’s was a founding member of the Rugby Football Union in 1871.

Sports Sport is a key component of the education provision at St Paul’s as well as helping to support and sustain the School’s ethos. St Paul’s aims to give every boy the chance to benefit from learning through sport by playing and being taught the sport of his choice at the level best suited to his abilities and interest. We provide a wealth of sport from which boys of all abilities are free to choose after their first term at 13+ entry and all boys are encouraged to adopt and maintain an active, healthy lifestyle. The safety and welfare of the boys is our top priority at all times.

The sports programme serves to reinforce many of the traits and values we believe are important, including: commitment, honesty, leadership, resilience, respect, responsibility, scholarship, self-discipline and teamwork. The programme is designed and resourced to be fully inclusive, catering for the needs and enjoyment of all boys, from the interested novice

to the elite performer. Every boy is encouraged to maximise the realisation of his potential for growth physically, mentally, socially and emotionally, to develop his character in a broad sense.

St Paul’s has a strong reputation for sport and there is a very demanding fixture list in all of the main school sports. Boys are expected to commit to playing for the School, with fixtures taking place weekly on Saturdays or weekdays (depending on the sport) in all three terms. Many pupils are able to represent the school in inter-school fixtures, while a number of individuals and teams regularly progress in regional, national and international teams and competitions.

The School benefits from an outstanding team of elite and expert coaches and support staff, many of whom can boast their own impressive sporting achievements.

23

13+

We place great value on creative subjects; these complement and enhance our academic curriculum. Each department – Art, Drama and Music – has its own dedicated building allowing for complete submersion in these crafts.

Art, Drama and Music are taught to all boys in their first year and then full GCSE and A Level courses are offered. Boys must choose Art, Drama, Engineering or Music as one of their GCSE subjects.

The Arts Art

Music

Art and Design tuition provides opportunities for personal expression, encouraging imagination, sensitivity, conceptual thinking, powers of observation and analytical abilities in practical contexts.

Music encourages creativity, collaboration, discipline and the capacity to think differently. It plays an integral role throughout the School and is embraced by almost 50% of pupils, who participate in a wide range of musical activities at St Paul’s.

Through both theoretical studies and the individual development of practical skills, our teaching leads to a fuller understanding of the part played by Art and Design in the history of human development. Widening cultural horizons, enriching the individual’s personal resources and engendering self-awareness are central to our ethos.

Opportunities are rich, from symphony orchestras to string groups, choirs (including a thriving close harmony group) to saxophone ensembles and jazz groups to a host of small chamber groups tackling anything from early to contemporary music.

Comprehensive ensembles and chamber music programmes ensure that performance opportunities are provided for as many boys as possible, including competing and performing in external competitions, workshops and events.

An interesting insight into the mid-seventeenth-century School comes from the diaries of Old Pauline Samuel Pepys, who played truant from school to witness the execution of Charles I.

Drama

i Old Pauline Sir Kenneth Adam OBE created the set designs for the James Bond ďŹ lms in the 60s and 70s, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Madness of King George.

Drama fosters community and facilitates communication; it is a creative space in which young people, through the power of language and image, can come to know themselves better. It breeds both self-analysis and self-discipline and allows the individual to integrate more uently with the world around them.

The Drama Centre, which opened in 2014, houses the state-of-the-art Samuel Pepys Theatre as well as a teaching wing overlooking the River Thames. Coupled with the Milton Studio, these theatres host upwards of a dozen productions each year, allowing boys to embrace a range of performance styles and the technical and design challenges therein.

The possibilities for enthusiastic boys are vast: from in-house drama competitions and pupil directed plays, via experimental studio pieces, to large-scale musicals and plays from the classical repertoire. Furthermore, there are regular opportunities for senior boys to perform at both the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith and the Edinburgh Fringe.

The Eighth Form Boys joining St Paul’s at 16+ enter the ‘Eighth Form’ to spend two years studying for their exams and preparing for university. Pupils join us from a variety of different schools, state and independent, in and around London and further afield in Europe, Asia, America and Africa.

Boys in their later teenage years are often searching for values to underpin their lives and find their place and voice in society. We provide these young men with exciting academic stimulation, in an atmosphere akin to a university, and almost limitless opportunities to explore and develop their talents through extra-curricular activities.

We believe that when Paulines leave they should be honest men of principle and integrity, able to argue from an informed viewpoint, respectful of the views of others and ready and able to serve in the community.

26

Boys follow a curriculum to A Level or Pre-U. Boys generally take four subjects in their Lower Eighth year which lead on to three or four subjects in their Upper Eighth year. The academic standards of the School are high; in recent years, around fifty percent of A Level subjects taken have been graded A*.

The Eighth Form is not just focused on exams and universities. Senior boys play a vital role in running the School’s clubs and societies, alongside contributing to the wider community through our Voluntary Service programme and by organising and supporting charitable events.

Boarding Although most boys at St Paul’s are day pupils, boarding plays an important role for many.

The current boarding house, School House, has capacity for thirty-five boys and forms part of the main school complex, enjoying fabulous river views over the Thames.

Pupils board at St Paul’s for a variety of reasons and this is a very popular option for 16+ candidates, offering a supportive environment which allows them to concentrate on their studies during the week. We offer full boarding, weekly boarding (Sunday evening – Friday afternoon) and flexi-boarding, to suit a family’s individual requirements. Flexi-boarding allows day boys to board for a couple of days or a few weeks if, for example, parents are away for a period of time during the term.

27

i We share opportunities with the local community through our partnerships, extra-curricular clubs and Voluntary Service programme.

Paulines in the Community St Paul’s School has a long history of developing links and partnerships with its local community. Boys at St Paul’s embrace the rewards volunteering has to offer, and every boy moving into the Fifth & Eighth forms is strongly encouraged to take the opportunity to take up a place on the St Paul’s School Voluntary Service programme.

Each boy brings his own unique thoughts, ideas and values as to how and where he would like to volunteer.

Old Paulines have set the standard high, so the placements on offer are often highly sought after and makes the St Paul’s boy a valuable resource to the schools, hospitals and youth centres in our local community.

Supporting the community outside the school gates provides the opportunity for boys to gain valuable real life experiences, helping develop the skills necessary to contribute to wider society.

St Paul’s has a dedicated member of staff to ensure placements are vetted and boys get the most from their time volunteering.

28

Pauls4All Charitable activities play a significant part in the life of St Paul’s. The Pauls4All committee is made up of Lower Eighth pupils.

Each year the whole school body is invited to vote on two charities; one local & one national. Alongside our international school links charities, this aims to engender in Paulines the sense of being part of both local and global communities.

The committee is then tasked with putting together an awareness strategy including talks from the charity, making available statistics and facts and publications, alongside a packed calendar of events to raise funds.

These range from whole school events to individual year challenges.

The Pauls4All committee aims to encourage a wider awareness and understanding of the needs and challenges of others, locally and globally.

St Paul’s Public Examination Results 2016 At A Level and Pre-U, 45.1% of grades awarded were A* (or equivalent); at GCSE, 77.8% were A* (or equivalent).

Our greatest achievement remains our ability to teach subjects with passion and scholarship rather than suffocating our pupils by focusing only on exams.

Choosing a University Dedicated University advisers help each pupil make an informed choice from the breadth of courses and universities in the UK and overseas. Pupils are invited to careers fairs and workshops to help aid their decisions.

Typically, one third of Paulines gain places at Oxford and Cambridge Universities each year, with 50% attending the top 30 universities within the QS World University RankingsŽ. However, it is vitally important that focus is given to ensuring that the right university and course is chosen based on the boys’ interests and ambitions. An increasing number of boys are successfully applying to top American Universities, generally Ivy League or equivalent, including Harvard, MIT, Stanford and Yale.

i When pupils leave St Paul’s they become Old Paulines and are welcomed into the Old Pauline Club.

OP President Rob Smith and sons, Harry (2012-17) and Ben (2013-18)

Old Paulines – Alumni When pupils leave St Paul’s they automatically become Old Paulines, joining a 10,000-strong alumni network that includes leaders from every professional field. They will join an illustrious register that includes Prof Duncan Haldane (Nobel Laureate), The Rt Hon The Lord Winston of Hammersmith (IVF Pioneer), James Harding (Director of BBC News), Nicholas Parsons (TV Presenter), Winston Marshall (Musician, Mumford & Sons), Robin Ticciati (Conductor) and Rory Kinnear (Actor).

History The Old Pauline Club was founded in 1872 by an association of old boys wishing to continue playing rugby together after leaving school. Since then, the Club has grown and diversified and now reflects the wide range of interests of current members both in the UK and abroad.

Recalling Old Paulines’ reasons for founding the Club, the first Hon Sec recorded, “One of them, impressed by the fact that a friend, especially an old school friend, is one of the best things in life, argued that opportunities for meeting together, other than in the football season, ought to be considered and that, in time, one was likely to become too old for football or rowing and only fit to dine!”

32

Today The alumni community certainly enjoys dining together, but with our thriving social and business networks now supporting and connecting Old Paulines, there are many other ways in which OPs can enjoy getting together and keeping in touch.

Old Paulines also receive updates on OP and School news through regular newsletters and the bi-annual magazine.

The Old Pauline Club aims to create an inclusive and supportive alumni community that will help nurture lifetime friendships, provide professional engagement and channel support back to the School.

Rob Smith (1981-86), current St Paul’s parent and President of the Old Pauline Club says, “St Paul’s is unarguably one of the best schools in the country because of the diversity of pupils who attend.

It’s my role to guide, motivate and encourage OPs to give back to St Paul’s, to ensure all pupils have the opportunity to connect and be inspired by the OP community. After pupils leave, we keep them engaged by supporting their professional ambitions and being their ‘go-to’ point for career advice.”

33

Candidates for 11+ should apply by October when the boy is in Year 6.

There are two assessment options: • Boys from state primary schools may sit the 11+ deferred exam in Year 5 for guaranteed entry at 11+.

• Boys who have been unsuccessful in securing a place sitting the deferred exam in Year 5 are welcome to re-apply for 11+ entry the following year.

• Boys from independent schools are assessed in Year 6 for entry at 11+. This assessment is also open to boys at state primary schools.

In both processes, post application, a reference will be sought from the Head of the boy’s current school.

St Paul’s School offers a rich, rigorous and stimulating academic education alongside outstanding opportunities in music, drama and sport. Our admission process selects boys who have the necessary strong all-round intellectual ability, interest in academic study and commitment to extra-curricular activities to be happy and thrive here.

Entry at 11+ and 13+ The majority of boys applying to join at age 13+ are currently attending a preparatory school which finishes at age 13 (Year 8). We welcome and expect these boys to apply to join us at 13+. For boys currently at a school, primary state or independent, which finishes in Year 6 it is possible to do a dual application and be considered for 11+ entry to St Paul’s Juniors and 13+ entry to St Paul’s School. It may not be possible for us to offer an 11+ place at St Paul’s Juniors due to the limited availability of places, but we may be able to offer a 13+ place to St Paul’s School. There are many local prep schools in London which can bridge the gap in Years 7 and 8 and have experience of preparing boys for entry to St Paul’s School at 13+.

The entry processes run concurrently. Families wishing to apply for both 11+ and 13+ need to do so before the 13+ deadline passes at the end of September. Please be aware that the 11+ deadline is later so it will not be possible to apply for the 13+ process after the early deadline has passed. Candidates wishing to apply for both processes need to select the 11+ and 13+ option when applying online.

In the latter half of the autumn term both 11+ and 13+ candidates are required to take the ISEB online pre-test. At this time a reference will be sought from the Head of the boy’s current school. Boys who are successful at this stage will sit the St Paul’s Juniors 11+ written examinations in English and mathematics in January. Boys who performed well in these will be interviewed.

38

The decision post interview will have one of four outcomes: • An 11+ place at St Paul’s Juniors is offered.

• A place on the 13+ Main List for St Paul’s Seniors is offered. In this case we are unable to offer a place at 11+, but are able to offer a conditional 13+ place. We recommend these boys secure a place at a UK preparatory school for the next two years in order for them to be prepared for the Common Entrance examinations in which a 70% pass is the minimum requirement for entry.

Main List places must be accepted by late June of Year 7.

• A place on the 13+ Reserve List for St Paul’s.

Once the deadline for the acceptance of Main List offers has passed, the Reserve List will be reviewed. At the start of Year 8, for boys wishing to be considered, updated Head Teacher reports will be requested and the boys will be required to sit a short assessment in English and mathematics.

Following this, some boys may be offered conditional places.

• We are unable to offer a place at the School.

13+ Entry at 13+ Approximately 90 boys join us at the start of Year 9 from a wide range of schools, mostly across London. These combine with the boys moving up through St Paul’s Juniors to make a year group of around 180 boys.

To apply, parents need to complete the online registration form, pay the registration fee and upload a copy of the boy’s passport.

Registrations open in Year 5.

The selection process begins with the ISEB online pre-test. This will be taken in October or November of Year 6, preferably at the boy’s current school. If their school is unable to administer the test, boys are able to sit it at St Paul’s.

At this time we will request a school report from the boy’s Head Teacher detailing his academic strengths, interests and character.

This report and the pre-test results are reviewed and inform which boys are called forward to interview. Parents and schools will be notified of our decision in mid-December and boys will be called for interview between January and July of Year 6.

The interview assessment starts with two short 20 minute written papers in English and mathematics. These are followed by a 25

minute conversation with a senior member of teaching staff who will talk to them about their academic studies and extra-curricular interests.

During the interview parents will have the opportunity to speak to a senior member of staff.

The decision post interview will have one of three outcomes: • A place on the Main List. This is a conditional offer of a place at the School.

It is conditional on the boy achieving a minimum of 70% in each subject at Common Entrance. This offer must be accepted by late June in Year 7.

• A place on the Reserve List. Once the deadline for the acceptance of Main List offers has passed, the Reserve List will be reviewed. At the start of Year 8, for boys wishing to be considered, updated Head Teacher reports will be requested and boys will be required to sit a short assessment in English and mathematics. Following this, some boys may be offered a conditional place.

• We are unable to offer a place at the School.

Boys who perform well in all of their chosen subjects are invited back for a day of interviews later that month.

Our selection process identifies boys who will easily make the transition into St Paul’s and also, once here, thrive in the brisk academic environment. We welcome applications from bright, motivated boys from all state and independent schools in London, the UK and abroad. Applicants apply using the online form and are required to submit a 250 word personal statement with this. There is no registration fee payable at this time. Once applications are received, boys' schools will be contacted for a detailed academic reference.

Places are offered on 1 December to candidates who demonstrate scholarship, can comfortably meet the high academic standards of the School and are likely to make a notable contribution to school life.

Applications and references are reviewed and suitable candidates are invited to sit our entrance exams in their chosen subjects. These are held on the first or second Friday in November at St Paul’s.

Offers are conditional on GCSE (or IGCSE) grades.

International Applicants London’s international community is reflected in the range of Pauline nationalities. Students from abroad are a welcome further addition to the School’s cultural richness and diversity.

We consider overseas boys applying for day places at all entry points. Weekly boarding is available for boys entering at 13+ or 16+. Full boarding is often a popular choice for overseas students entering at 16+.

There is no separate application process for overseas applicants. Boys must comply with the same deadlines and admission requirements as UK candidates.

For 13+ admissions, boys currently at school overseas may sit the ISEB online pre-test at their school if it is willing to administer the test. If the school is unable to administer it, then the test should be taken at the local British Council Office.

If, following the review of the pre-test result and school report, the boy is called for interview, this will take place in London at St Paul’s School. We will endeavour to interview overseas applicants between January and March so that, should they be offered a place on the Main List, parents can secure a place at a UK prep school for the two years before joining us. This ensures that all boys joining in year 9 have reached the necessary standard across the same curriculum.

For 16+ admissions for 2017 onwards, overseas applicants, for whom English is not thier first language, will be required to take the UKiset tests in addition to submitting their application. Boys should register on the UKiset website www.ukiset.com and schedule a test at their nearest UKiset test centre. The Ukiset result will be reviewed alongside the boy’s application to determine whether he will be invited to take the entrance examinations.

These examinations can be taken at local British Council offices or here at St Paul’s.

Boys who perform well in the examinations and are supported by their Head Teacher’s report will be called for interview. The interview will take place at St Paul’s School in London on a specified date.

The education at St Paul’s is academic and moves at a brisk pace. It demands competency and fluency in both written and spoken English. Pupils need to be comfortable in this environment so that they can participate fully in all areas of school life. If English is not their first language we require them to achieve a minimum of level C1 in the UKiset.

St Paul’s School is currently a UK Visas and Immigration sponsor. Parents must advise us, when making an application, if their son requires sponsorship from the School to obtain a Visa in order to study here.

Boarding Applicants The School has a small boarding house and a number of boys who join us at 16+ do so as boarders. Some boys who live within London choose to board for weeknights to avoid unnecessary commuting and also because they enjoy the lifestyle in the boarding house. Eighth Form boarders are assigned an individual study bedroom. The house closes during the holidays.

Overseas boarders must have a UK resident guardian over the age of 25 and not in full time education.

To enquire about boarding please contact admissions@stpaulsschool.org.uk.

St Paul’s occupies 45 acres of its own green, open space beside the Thames, giving our pupils the opportunity to play any number of sports all year round.

Our campus is unique amongst London schools for the on-site facilities it offers – from boat club to theatre, darkroom to cricket pitch, recital hall to design technology workshop.

We encourage parents to book a tour of the school to see the range of activities and the quality of facilities we offer, as well as our exciting redevelopment programme currently in progress.

Getting to School St Paul’s School is situated on the south bank of the River Thames, on the south-west side of Hammersmith Bridge, close to the M4 and South Circular Road (A205). The entrance gate is accessed from Lonsdale Road.

Car Parking Parents dropping their sons off to St Paul’s are requested to park on Lonsdale Road. St Paul’s Juniors parents may drive into the school and park, or drop off at the St Paul’s Juniors entrance on the one way system. Visitor parking is situated inside the entrance gates. Car parking attendants will be on hand if you have any queries.

School Buses A number of school buses run daily from North London, West London, South London and Surrey.

Buses are kept separate for St Paul’s Juniors and St Paul’s School boys. To enquire about the latest pick up routes please contact reception@stpaulsschool.org.uk.

By Rail: Barnes Station is served by frequent trains from Clapham, Waterloo and Richmond and has connections with Waterloo/Clapham Junction, Kingston and Hounslow. Boys can catch the 33 or 72 bus from Barnes Station which stops at the top of the School road.

52

By Underground: The school is easily accessible via the District, Piccadilly, Circle and Hammersmith and City tube lines. Many boys prefer to take the 419 bus from Hammersmith station which drops pupils directly outside the school gate. There are other buses from Hammersmith (33, 72, 209, 283, 485) which stop at the top of the school road. Alternatively it is only a 15 minute walk to Lonsdale Road from Hammersmith Station.

From the M4: Continue towards central London from the end of the M4 on the A4. Go straight across at the Hogarth roundabout and then keep left on approaching the Hammersmith flyover (do not go over) and turn right (under the flyover) to cross Hammersmith Bridge. Once over the Bridge, take the first right at the traffic lights into Lonsdale Road. The entrance to the school will be seen after a short distance on the right-hand side.

On Arrival: Visitors are requested to report immediately to the Porters’ Lodge or St Paul’s Juniors Reception.

By Air: London Heathrow Airport is within easy reach of the School (30 minutes by car/taxi).
