Admissions

We are looking for boys with the ability to go to a top university who love doing things outside the classroom: we are not a good school for couch potatoes.

Other than this, there is no typical Pauline. If there were such a thing, we would know we were getting something seriously wrong.

Request a prospectus, download our Annual Information document or read more below.

You can join us direct at 13 years-old or when you’re 16.

Or you can first join Colet Court, our preparatory school, at 7, 8 or 11.

There is a special entry at age 11 if you are at a state primary school.

Entry at age 13

This is when most boys join St Paul’s: just under a half from Colet Court and just over a half from a wide range of other prep schools. We take about 170 boys of this age each year. Parents, prep schools and pupils all have their part to play in making sure that St Paul’s is the right school for a boy.

Entry at age 16

An opportunity to join St Paul’s for the final two years (Years 12–13, which we call our Eighth form). Boys joining us at this stage come from many different backgrounds, bringing their unique experiences to the school.

Entry at age 7, 8 or 11

Although St Paul’s doesn’t start until age 13, you can gain entry by first joining Colet Court at age 7, 8 or 11. If you are at a state primary school, 11+ entry is the ideal way into St Paul’s, spending the first two years at Colet Court before transferring to the senior school.

Community partnerships

About 110 senior Paulines are involved directly in our community partnerships and voluntary placements.

Associates

Giving the opportunity to students from our partner schools to experience Pauline life.

Our renewal campaign
