Inspectors praise the school for our 'relentless pursuit of scholarship and excellence' and recognise the vital role played by our 'high profile university partners' which they describe as 'exceptional'.
Congratulations to everyone involved; especially the students, staff, parents, governors and trustees that have worked so hard to achieve this outcome.
St Paul's Way Sixth Form - 'Outstanding'
Inspectors have praised, without reservation, our new Sixth Form.
'The Sixth Form is Outstanding. Achievement is rising rapidly due to strong teaching which is supported by the school's university partners'

HRH The Duke of York during a Science Lesson
|
Prince Andrew, Duke of York spent several hours, on the 18th April 2013, visiting St Paul's Way Trust School. He arrived at 11am and was warmly welcomed by our Headteacher, Mr Grahame Price, Lord Andrew Mawson OBE and our Head Boy, Rafi Mannan and Head Girl, Shanice Cameron Richards. Prince Andrew was escorted to the community suite for an initial meeting with Grahame Price and other partners from St Paul's Way Transformation Project before being taken on a tour of the school which focused on the Duke's particular interest, Science. The Duke of York took time, during his visit, to talk to our science students, participate in their theory and practical science lessons and converse with staff.
This memorable and enjoyable visit also gave us the opportunity to discuss with the Duke the opening of our DNA Research Laboratory, an initiative that he is keen to support.

"Celebrities need to think more about their behaviour."
"Who really knows what a celebrity is? Comedian Steve Martin says 'anyone who looks like he spends more than two hours working on his hair."

Open Week Excitement!
I was very pleased to welcome hundreds of families to our open week events. I am delighted that so many families are placing St Paul's Way Trust School as their first preference. We are very much looking forward to seeing you again in the very near future.
Youngsters from Over 50 Primary Schools Visited Us
Year six students from 54 different Primary Schools visited St Paul's Way Trust School over the four days. This was our biggest Open Week yet with large numbers of visitors every day. Prospective families were shown around the school after an introduction from Shanice Richard (Head Girl - 11G1b), Rafi Mannan (Head Boy - 11G1a), Shagor Ahmed (8T) and myself. Our busiest day was Monday 24th September and despite the rain, we welcomed well over two hundred visitors and completely filled the Willoughby Theatre!
Thank you to Year 7 students, D’Andre Daley (7U), Thahira Yasmin (7P), Jay Lard (7H) and Mahiya Shobnam Hussain (7S) for sharing their experience of settling into their new school and taking questions from the audience.
