AN INTRODUCTION TO SPGS St Paul’s Girls’ School (SPGS) 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
St Paul’s is committed to providing a cutting edge, relevant and future-proof education for its students. To that end, the School has invested significantly in a programme of building works and refurbishment, including a new Centre for Design & Innovation (CDI) which will house the computer science and creative technology department, alongside sculpture, art and design. The CDI is on track to open at the end of 2023. The undertaking of a significant building and development programme is part of the School’s site-wide masterplan. The first phase was completed in 2017 with a new Drama studio, a new building on the main site and a new Sports Pavilion at the playing fields. Planning permission has been granted for the next phases that include two new buildings and a series of modifications and improvements to existing buildings (some of which has listed status). Progress is well underway with these phases. This is therefore an exciting time for an experienced Head of Estates to play a key role in the delivery of the next phase of works, as well as being responsible for the day-to-day smooth running of the School site.
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 aged 11 to 18 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. Aspirations and achievements in many areas go well beyond what one would normally expect from a school, making St Paul’s a very exciting and stimulating place in which to work. Full details of the school, including its curriculum, co-curricular programme and public exam results is available on their website at http://www.spgs.org. The School is split over three sites; the main school site with its listed buildings, the swimming pool and the playing field site, all within a short walking distance of each other.
