Our Catholic Life
We want our family here at St Paul’s to be full of JOY.
As our patron St Paul encourages us to :
“Be joyful in hope,
patient in difficulties
and faithful in prayer”
(Romans 2:12)
Our DESIRE is that everyone will have a positive experience during their time at St Paul’s
by adhering to these tenets:
Jesus – Follow his example
Others – put others before yourself
Yourself – be your best self.
This is the cornerstone of our Catholic Life and Mission, a school with Christ at our centre, supported by our Class and House Saints.
2025 is the Jubilee Year of Hope. It was introduced to the school with a special Celebration of the Word on 24th January.
One of the children summarised the message to say,
"Pope Francis wants us bring hope, peace, love and dignity to the world by our words and actions. Everything we do and say makes a difference."
Jubilee Prayer:
March is the month of St. Joseph.
April is the month of the Blessed Sacrament.
May is the Month of Our Holy Mother, Mary.
June is the month of the Sacred Heart.
Catholic Social Teaching at St. Paul's

They are taught as a discrete topic in the Autumn term and referred to in may other lessons.
