Fencing
Fencing is very popular at St Paul’s and is available to all boys. Matches and competitions are held in all weapons and at all levels. Fourth Form pupils new to the school can try fencing. Equipment is provided.
Seniors fence on Wednesdays afternoon, Juniors on Thursdays. St Paul’s also offers an after-school club which runs on a Monday from 4:15-6:30, with individual lessons and free fencing provided on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1:00-2:00. Coaching is provided by British Academy of Fencing Professor Lance Larsen, and by former World’s Veteran Champion and Olympian, Jim Philbin.
We have first and second teams in all three weapons — foil, épée and sabre — and attend regularly the Public Schools Championships. The teams also participate in a league with other schools, fencing both home and away. We encourage and help to organise fencers’ participation in external competitions.
