Pastoral care support team

One of the special features of St Paul’s is the strength of our Pastoral Care system

Each house meets in their common room with their Housemaster at 8.00am on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. This is an opportunity for the roll to be taken and for house activities to be discussed. Each house is made up of a Housemaster, Assistant Housemaster(s), and tutors who support the students while they are at St Paul's. A student’s Housemaster should be the first port of call for a parent with an enquiry about their son or daughter’s progress.
