About St Paul's School

St Paul's School is one of the most academically distinguished boys' schools in the world, founded in 1509 by Dean John Colet and long associated with intellectual rigour, classical scholarship, and exceptional university outcomes. Located on a beautiful riverside campus in Barnes, southwest London, the school serves around 900 boys aged 13 to 18 in one of the most stimulating educational environments in the country.

Academically, St Paul's record is simply extraordinary. It regularly tops or sits near the top of national A-Level league tables, and its Oxbridge admissions rate — typically 30% or more of the year group — is among the very highest of any school in the United Kingdom. The school also has strong relationships with MIT, Harvard, Yale, and other Ivy League institutions, reflecting the global ambition of its student body and teaching staff.

Beyond academics, Paulines (as students are known) benefit from world-class facilities including a boathouse on the Thames, a dedicated music school, and a performing arts centre. The school's alumni list reads as a roll call of British intellectual, political, and creative life — from Samuel Pepys and John Milton to more recent figures across law, medicine, finance, and the arts. For the most academically ambitious families in London, St Paul's is an unequalled destination.
