St Paul's confirmed as UK's 2023 top academic boys' school In The Sunday Times Parent Power Guide 2023, St Paul's was rated the top independent boys' school in the UK, the second-best independent school in London (behind St Paul's Girls' School), and the third-best independent school in the country. Teaching at St Paul's is not confined to an examination syllabus: a Pauline education goes far beyond
examination success, which we believe is a by-product of stimulating teaching and the pursuit of genuine scholarship. Outside the classroom, as you will read in the following pages, pupils are exploring their interests, developing their own co-curricular, entrepreneurial and charitable initiatives, and excelling in the arts, sports and engineering.
PARTNERSHIPS & CHARITIES
City Harvest food drive breaks record, donating almost 600kg of food The Winter Term food drive for City Harvest was a tremendous success, thanks to the generosity of parents and the wider school community. City Harvest told us that it was the largest amount of food ever collected from a school: in fact, the collection was so substantial that they had to send two extra vans to pick it up. The school community donated almost 600 kilograms of food, totalling 1,475 meals for Londoners in need. Special thanks go to the Pauls4All representatives, who dedicated time to promoting the drive through guerrilla marketing and House assemblies. Thanks also go to Mustapha (Upper Eighth) for suggesting that we celebrate Challenge Poverty Week.

Winner of Independent Boys' School of the Year 2023
University offers aplenty
"We were delighted to win 'Independent Boys' School of the Year 2023' at the Independent Schools of the Year Awards in October. Dr Helen Wright, who chaired the panel of judges, commended our commitment to boys' education, particularly highlighting our efforts to instil positive character traits and values in our pupils.
In 2023, Upper Eighth Paulines once again received an extraordinary set of university offers, including 29 from the University of Oxford, 23 from Imperial College London, and 21 from the University of Cambridge. Pupils also welcomed offers from other top universities, including Edinburgh, LSE, UCL, Bristol and St Andrews. In addition, 42 Paulines accepted places at universities abroad, with 35 of those in the US, including Stanford, Yale, Brown, Dartmouth, Princeton and Cornell.
Our school was also shortlisted in the Outstanding Educational Partnerships category of the awards, thanks to the success of our STEM Summer Schools programme, which has already received national recognition. "We are delighted to receive this award, which is a testament to the hard work and dedication of all the staff at St Paul's School," High Master, Sally-Anne Huang, said.
