St Pauls High School

Our school is a Roman Catholic Secondary School for children and young people from 11 – 18. In Saint Paul’s we aim to nurture your child to become the fully rounded individual they have the potential to be. At the heart of our Ethos are the Gospel Values of love, joy, peace and truth and as a school community we strive to live these values in everything that we do.

Our aim is to prepare our children and young people for their future: academically, spiritually, emotionally, physically and socially. The uniqueness of every young person is celebrated in Saint Paul’s R.C. High; our curriculum offers a rich and engaging range of activities that meet all the different learning styles and interests. We teach the importance of respect for each other, the value of difference and the skills of working together.

As a school we recognize the importance of a strong partnership with parents and carers. We enjoy strong relationships with our parents and we are always working to develop this further. We have a supportive school chaplain in Father Martin Kane and a strong commitment to living out our spiritual mission: “Aiming for the Higher Gifts”. Our school community is rooted in the values of living life through Christ.

In Saint Paul’s R.C. High School we will provide a welcoming and friendly environment, which celebrates the diversity of our community. We aim to ensure that all pupils are successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors and prepared to take their place in society. This is achieved through working together with young people, their families and the community, based on a shared sense of direction.

Curriculum for Excellence has been introduced to raise standards of learning and teaching for all 3 to 18 year olds. It aims to help prepare children and young people with the knowledge and skills they need in a fast changing world. As part of Curriculum for Excellence, all children from pre-school to the end of S3 will receive a rounded education known as a Broad General Education (BGE). Curriculum for Excellence is all about bringing real life into the classroom and taking lessons beyond it.
