A long tradition of charitable support
St Paul’s has a rich history of philanthropy, starting with John Colet‘s generous endowment that founded the school. Since then, additional philanthropic contributions have supported St Paul’s for generations.
Throughout the years, various campaigns have been launched to raise funds for different projects at the school. One such campaign in 1968 raised enough funds to relocate to Barnes, while another one in 1989 helped finance the construction of a new technology and art block. Additionally, the central court was enclosed to create an atrium. More recently, the Renewal Campaign raised an impressive £65 million, which was used to provide our pupils with the best facilities possible. Generous donations to the Junior Sports Pavilion also helped to ensure that our students can enjoy state-of-the-art sports amenities. The £20 million raised during the Shaping Our Future campaign has allowed us to take our bursary programme to the next level and pilot many of our partnership projects.
These transformational results have helped us to attract and retain the very best pupils and teachers and to provide an inspirational environment of world-class teaching and learning.
In this next phase, we aim to further develop our bursary provision and significantly expand our partnership efforts – ensuring our impact beyond the confines of our own school. However, we cannot achieve these goals without the support of our community. Your individual and collective generosity can make a tremendous difference. We invite you to join us in supporting the Shaping our Future: Next Steps campaign, and together, we can use the gift of education to transform the lives of many young people.
