St. Paul’s CofE Primary School is an academy which is part of the Southwark Diocese Multi Academy Trust. The school converted to the trust in February 2019 and with the support of the diocese, a team committed to whole school improvement and a wonderfully supportive group of Governors and parents is going from strength to strength. We educate children from 3 years old to 11 years old. We are a caring and worshiping community. We aim to work in partnership with our families and parish communities, complementing and supporting all on their faith journey.

Leaders place a strong emphasis on reading. In the words of a pupil: ‘They are obsessed with it.’ Leaders make sure that what is taught and practised in Nursery prepares children well for early reading in later years, for example through repetition of songs and rhymes. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported in becoming fluent readers.
Leaders have high expectations for pupils. This can be seen, for example, in pupils’ good behaviour and high attendance. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They get on well with each other. Leaders’ focus on helping pupils to become resilient and confident can be seen in all sorts of ways.
Staff make every effort so that my child can learn and develop little by little on her own.’ Staff care about helping their pupils; they know them well and adapt their teaching to meet their needs effectively.
