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.

St Paul’s Girls’ School is one of the country’s leading schools, and a very exciting place to work, whatever the role. It is a lively, academic community with excellent facilities, and relationships between students and all staff are warm and relaxed. Our staff enjoy generous terms and conditions and supportive management structures. Whether in teaching or business support, all staff are recognised for their professionalism and commitment.

St Paul’s Girls’ School is an historic and highly successful day school in west London, welcoming students aged 11 to 18. It was founded in 1904 by the Worshipful Company of Mercers as one of the first purpose-built schools for girls and was designed by the architect Gerald Horsley. It is one of the country’s leading independent secondary day schools for girls and is a lively academic community with excellent facilities for all subjects.

There are approximately 800 students on roll, coming from a wide range of feeder schools across both the state and independent sector and there is a thriving sixth form of about 230 students.

Entry to the school at 11+ is by competitive exams held in January and at 16+ in November, and there is heavy demand for each place. Public exam results are consistently outstanding and about 40% of all students every year move on to Oxford and Cambridge. Increasing numbers also go on to higher education at Ivy League colleges in the United States. Aspirations and achievements in many areas go well beyond what one would normally expect from a school, making SPGS a very exciting and stimulating place in which to work.

The emphasis on liberal learning established by the first High Mistress, Frances Gray, finds expression today in an academically adventurous curriculum, which encourages intellectual freedom, discovery, and the joy of scholarship. Pastoral care is excellent, and all students are placed in small tutor groups to ensure the highest standards of personal attention and development. There is a vibrant co-curricular life and a busy programme of partnership and service activities, which demonstrate the importance of collaboration, diversity and inclusion, and which empower students to make a difference in the world beyond school.
