St Paul's Girls' School, London

In its own words: "Founded in 1904, St Paul’s was one of the first schools to believe in the importance of educating women to fulfil their potential, giving them the skills and confidence to take their place with pride in a modernising and fast-moving world. That tradition remains at our core. We throw ourselves into anything with enthusiasm, dedication and passion."

From the headteacher's welcome: "St Paul’s Girls’ School is an extraordinary school, offering a classical yet forward-thinking education. A shared love of academic discovery is enriched by broad co-curricular provision, the kindest and most individual of pastoral care and a commitment to partnerships and service to others."

Clubs and activities named on the school's website include drama, chess, robotics, gardening, debating, Duke of Edinburgh, journalism and book club.

The Department for Education's GCSE measures do not count IGCSEs, which many independent schools take instead of GCSEs, so the Attainment 8 and English and maths figures it publishes for St Paul's Girls' School can understate its results. We do not rank or compare them; ask the school for its own GCSE and IGCSE results.
