Welcome
Welcome to St Paul’s Catholic School. You will find us to be a warm inclusive community where we are inspired and motivated by the words of the prophet Micah and the words of our school prayer; “Act justly, love tenderly and walk humbly with your God.”
We are one of 23 schools who all belong to the St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Multi Academy Trust. We are bound together by the Trust mission to “prepare all our young people for a wholesome, fulfilling and active life in the future making a valuable contribution to society.” We are committed to the education of the whole person and look to foster each student’s gifts and talents whatever they may be.
This website contains both essential information which I hope will prove useful to you as one of our parents or someone wanting to know more about us and our school. The website should also give you a snap shot into our busy, vibrant community which is a wonderful place to work and study.

A group of Year 13 A Level Politics students, recently had the opportunity to visit the Houses of Parliament. Students were able to see both houses, St. Stephen’s chapel and Westminster hall. Students then took part in a workshop and created their own political parties and manifestos. The education team were really impressed by the enthusiasm and speeches! There was also time for some sightseeing after, including; Trafalgar Square, the mall, a picnic lunch in st James` park, horse guards` parade and 10 Downing Street. This really was a great experience for the students and a fabulous day! 💜🧡

What an incredible achievement for our first-ever Gold DofE group! The Yorkshire Three Peaks tested them in every way, tough climbs, challenging weather, tired legs and plenty of highs and lows. Whernside was definitely a moment they won’t forget! But they kept going, supported each other and pushed through when it was tough They climbed the mountains, faced the weather and conquered the challenge. Gold DofE — DONE! 💜🧡🪙👏🏻💫
