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.

Earlier this week, a group of Year 9 students attended The Briars on the annual residential trip.
The Briars work with young people from all across the diocese offering our young people the opportunity to step out of their everyday life, to focus on their relationship with themselves, each other and with God. Days are packed with team building, teaching, prayer, fun and smiles all round! The silent disco on the last night, was a big hit especially with Deacon Seamus and Miss Pinel 💜🧡🙏🏻🕺🏻

November is traditionally dedicated in the Catholic Church as the Month of the Holy Souls in Purgatory, a sacred time to remember, honour, and pray for the faithful departed who have died in God`s grace but still require final purification before entering Heaven
Each form have been given an envelope for their prayer board, with a `prayer sheet` to add names of those who have died so their souls are remembered in prayer💜🧡🙏🏻

Berlin 2026 - Day 4 The day started with a visit to The Topography of Terror; located on the former grounds of the SS, Gestapo, and Reich Security Main Office, this exhibition explains how their bureaucratic apparatus orchestrated the terror and atrocities of the Third Reich across Europe.
After a brief stop at Checkpoint Charlie, we set off for a guided tour of the iconic Berlin Olympic Stadium, built for the 1936 Olympic Games and currently home to Hertha Berlin Sports Club. The stadium is also famous for hosting the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the Euro 2024 final and was the location where Usain Bolt competed in the World Athletics and to this day, remains the world record holder for both the 100m (9.58s) and 200m (19.19s) in 2009.
Next stop "Gleis 17" in Grunewald, one of the primary gathering and departure points for mass deportations of Jewish people from Berlin. This experience has been one our students will never forget. It has been a packed few days filled with memorable experiences, learning opportunities and moments that will stay with them long after we return home - Mrs Chapman. 💜🧡

Berlin 2026 - Day 3 Another early start as we got ready to visit Sachsenhausen Concentration camp which was one of the first to be designed by the SS and purpose built. Students learned about life for Jewish prisoners, visited one of the remaining prison blocks and learned of the fate of over 10,000 Soviet soldiers in 1941 who had been stripped of their POW status. This camp had also held a number of significant political prisoners including Friedrich Ebert Jr, Yacob Dzhugashvilli (Stalin`s eldest son) and Paul Reynard.
Next stop, the Brandenburg Gate for a walk down the famous Unter den Linden to St Hedwig`s Cathedral. We paused in the cathedral to sit quietly, remember and pray for Harrison on his first anniversary. 🙏🏻
We continued with the Berlin Wall for an underground tour and learn about Tunnel 29 & Tunnel 57 both of which were dug from West Berlin into East Berlin to allow East German residents to flee to the West, to join their families and loved ones. Students saw first hand one tunnel which had been dug successfully but fell just 4m short, having been discovered by the border guards. 💜🧡

Berlin 2026 - Day 2 With a good night`s sleep everyone was ready for a good breakfast. We began with the train into the heart of East Berlin to visit the Stasi Museum and learn about the East German Secret Police. Our tour guide was great & really explained what life was like in the East and why people "chose" to work with the Stasi.
After lunch, by the East Side gallery, where we saw the remains of the Berlin Wall we were off to Potsdamer Platz and the German Spy Museum, to learn a little more about spying, MI6 and the KGB together with more of the tactics and equipment used. We also tried out some polygraphs and tried to beat the lasers to get across a room.
After dinner, we headed back out to see the beautiful Berlin Light Show which illuminated the TV Tower, Berlin Cathedral, Museum Island and Bebelplatz. We also learned about Stolpersteine or "stumbling stones" which mark the former homes of Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the book burning that took place with over 20,000 books destroyed in one evening. 💜🧡

Berlin 2026 Day 1 - After a super early start, we made it down to Luton for a quiet flight to Berlin where pretty much everyone fell asleep! 😴
We were then off to find our hotel and start exploring the city (after stopping at Aldi to tip up on snacks & make some impressive sandwiches!!).
Our walking tour took in some of the major sites including the Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. A trip back on the train, with a bit of snoozing, was followed by dinner & then an early night in preparation for Day 2. 💜🧡
