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.

Two days in one post! Day 5 and 6, for our little friend Eugene and one of his friends, Ernie. Two very classic catchphrases but they might test our younger generation 🪡⏰🌱➡️💜😝🧡

Today we were blessed and privileged with a school visit from Bishop Patrick McKinney, Bishop of Nottingham and Episcopal Vicar for Catholic Education, Fr. Simon Gillespie.
The day started with a prayer and discussion in our school Chapel, led by our student Christian Union Group followed by a tour of our school, with Mrs. Conaghan visiting RE lessons where students asked Bishop Patrick some well thought out and probing questions , which he responded to very well. A group of Sixth Form students hosted lunch and Deacon Seamus and students from the Ceferino group met with Bishop Patrick after lunch, to discuss the Gift of Grace model, followed by a Q & A session.
It was an absolute joy to welcome Bishop Patrick and Fr. Simon, thank you for visiting St. Paul`s. 💜🧡
