Uniquely St Paul’s St Paul’s School – What to expect ADMISSIONS ACADEMIC – 13+, 16+ ABOUT ST PAUL’S HOME > ABOUT ST PAUL’S > ST PAUL’S SCHOOL – WHAT TO EXPECT St Paul’s School offers a rich, rigorous and stimulating academic education alongside outstanding opportunities in music, drama and sport. Pupils are actively encouraged to pursue their own interests, whether intellectual, cultural, spiritual or physical, within and beyond the curriculum. The pace at St Paul’s School is fast and bright boys thrive in the engaging and supportive environment. The week runs from Monday to Friday with eight, 35-minute periods each day, plus a morning break and regular sessions to catch up with tutors. The School’s extra-curricular life is diverse and often pupil-led. A 100 minute lunch break creates space for a wide range of societies and activities, catering for both casual and specialised interests, ranging from voluntary service, outdoor pursuits, current affairs, debating, philosophy, music, drama, Christian Union and sport to creative writing, magic, film-making and stand-up comedy. All pupils also have one afternoon of games each week. In Years 9 to 11 (which we refer to as our Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Forms), homework is set for every school day and normally takes about two hours. Pupils in Years 12–13 (Lower and Upper Eighth) are encouraged to spend a minimum of 15 hours each week on homework and private study. Most pupils are day pupils, although around 30 boarding or flexi-boarding places are available.
