The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme, debating and Model United Nations form part of the co-curricular landscape, and there are sports, music and drama programmes.Student-inspired initiatives include ReStore — a sustainable second-hand fashion store that also hires out PE kit to pupils who have lost or forgotten something — and a student magazine.
- St Paul’s Girls’ is continually improving its pastoral support, with an emphasis on early intervention.
