Saint Paul's Primary School

Saint Paul’s School aims to educate the children for life. In preparing our children to cope with an ever-changing world, the school has devised a code of discipline that underpins the task of fulfilling the general education objectives. St. Paul’s School places a great emphasis on the fact that school should have a pleasant environment in which learning can take place. Education in St. Paul’s is seen as the development of the whole person. St. Paul’s see education as providing for the emotional, social, sexual, physical and spiritual development of the children. When a child finishes in St. Paul’s he will know “What he is good at” and where his talents lie. The emphasis will be on the positive rather than the negative. The school will pursue excellence in all its forms.

A high standard of behaviour is expected from the children in order to maintain a Christian ethos where everyone is respected regardless of background, creed or race. The children will be reminded of the school motto “Live Life to the Full”. The ethos of St. Paul’s can be summed up in two simple rules

1. I will try my best
2. I will always have good manners.
