We've got outstanding facilities and a team of staff who make their knowledge and enthusiasm a central part of school life – but it's our inventive, dynamic and creative students who really make St Paul's a unique place to work. So when you're part of our family you can expect to learn as much from our students as they're learning from you.

I love my colleagues and the working environment. I love sitting down to lunch and discussing 1980s music or rhetorical devices in the ancient world. I love the food. I love the staffroom. I like feeling proud that I work with the girls. And I feel sad when they leave.

We won't tie you up in red tape, either. We give teaching staff all the administrative support they need so that they can concentrate on what they do best.

Of course, what we do doesn't stop at teaching. We count just as much on our IT support team, catering staff, administrators... and everyone it takes to keep St Paul's running as a 21st century business. And if you'd like to know more about what it's like to work at St Paul's, read what some of our staff have to say.
