Entry to St Paul’s Juniors is selective: our assessment process is designed to identify boys who have a natural flair for learning and who will thrive on our education.
7+ Entry
Boys may be registered for St Paul’s Juniors from the February when they are in Year One. We admit approximately 50 boys at the 7+ entry point from a wide range of state and independent schools in and around London. 7+ pupils enter our Lower First Year, a year that acts as a period of settling in and adjusting to life in a large, fast moving junior school. The timetable allows the boys to spend most of their time in their own form room, ensuring a sense of routine and stability.
8+ Entry
Boys entering St Paul’s Juniors at 8+ join the Upper First Year. They quickly get to know their classmates who started at St Paul’s Juniors the year before and together they create a year group of four forms based in the main school building. Boys continue to spend the majority of their time with their form teachers, but by the end of the Upper First they are ready for the transition to the ‘senior school’ style of learning in the Second Year and beyond.
Boys may be registered for St Paul’s Juniors from the February when they are in Year Two. For entry at 8+, a boy’s eighth birthday must fall on or before 31 August in his year of entry.
Please note that the application process for 7+ and 8+ entry in 2026 will open in February 2025.
Small Group Tours
St Paul’s Juniors will be hosting small, parent-only group tours throughout the year. If you would like to attend a small group tour, please contact Katy Balderston, Admissions Secretary on 7and8plusentry@stpaulsschool.org.uk
