Fencing

Fencing is very popular at St Paul’s and is available to all pupils.

Matches and competitions are held in all weapons and at all levels. Fourth Form pupils new to the school can try fencing and equipment is provided.

Coaching is provided by Professor Lance Larsen, British Academy of Fencing.

St Paul’s also offers an after-school club which runs on a Monday with individual lessons and free fencing provided on Wednesdays and Thursdays during lunch break.

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.
