St Paul's School is a boys' public school, founded in 1509 by John Colet. It was originally located in the City of London and is now located on a large site in the London suburb of Barnes. It is one of the original nine English public schools as defined by the Public Schools Act 1868. It is one of the top academic schools in the country,[citation needed] and also among the top achieving schools in the arts and sport (with particular emphasis on rugby and rowing).[citation needed] Since 1881 St Paul's has had its own preparatory school, Colet Court.

History
John Colet, founder of St Paul's School, drawn by Holbein St Paul's School takes its name from St Paul's Cathedral in London. A cathedral school had existed since early times, and certainly from about 1103. By the sixteenth century, however, it had declined, and in 1509 a new St Paul's School was founded by John Colet, Dean of St Paul's Cathedral, on a plot of land to the north of the Cathedral. The eldest son of Sir Henry Colet, who was a member of the Mercers' Company and twice Lord Mayor of London, he inherited a substantial fortune, the great part of which he used for the endowment of his School, having no family of his own (his 21 siblings having all died in childhood and he being a celibate priest). He described himself in the statutes of the school as "desyring nothing more thanne Educacion and bringing upp chyldren in good Maners and litterature".

The School provided for the education of 153 children of "all nacions [sic] and countries indifferently" in good manners and literature. The number 153 has long been associated with the miracle of the draught of fishes recorded in St John's Gospel, and for several generations Foundation Scholars have been given the option of wearing an emblem of a silver fish. St Paul's was the largest school in England at its foundation, and its High Master had a salary (13 shillings and sixpence weekly) which was double that of the contemporary Head Master of Eton College. The scholars were not required to make any payment, although they were required to be literate, and they had to pay for their own wax candles - at that time an expensive commodity. The Gospel of John is the fourth gospel in the canon of the New Testament, traditionally ascribed to John the Evangelist. ...

Colet was the outspoken critic of the powerful and worldly Church of his day, and the friend of Erasmus and Sir Thomas More. Erasmus wrote textbooks for the school and St Paul's was the first English school to teach Greek, reflecting the humanist interests of the founder. Colet distrusted the Church as a managing body for his school, declaring that he "found the least corruption" in married laymen. For this reason, Colet assigned the management of the School and its revenues to the Mercers' Company, the premier livery company in the City of London, with which his father had been associated. The governing body of the school is still strongly associated with nominees of the Mercers' Company. In 1876 the Company were legally established as Trustees of the Colet estate and the management of the School was assigned to a Board of Governors consisting of the Master, Wardens and nine members of the Company, together with three representatives each of the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and London. The Company still forms the major part of the School's governing body, and it continues to administer Colet's trust.

One of St Paul's early headmasters was Richard Mulcaster, famous for writing two influential treatises on education (Positions (1581)[1] and Elementarie (1582)) . His description in Positions of "footeball" as a refereed team sport is the earliest reference to organised modern football. For this description and his enthusiasm for the sport he is considered the father of modern football. Richard Mulcaster, one of the greatest British educational visionaries, is known best for his headmasterships and paedegogic writings. ...
St Paul's has since its foundation been one of the leading British public schools. Between 1861 and 1864, the Clarendon Commission (a Royal Commission) investigated the public school system in England and its report formed the basis of the Public Schools Act 1868. St Paul's was one of only nine schools considered by the Clarendon Commission, and one of only two schools which was not predominantly attended by boarders. (The other day school was Merchant Taylors' and the other boarding schools were Charterhouse, Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Shrewsbury, Westminster and Winchester.)

Under the direction of F. W. Walker, who had become the High Master in 1887, the School rapidly expanded, and established itself as one of the foremost teaching schools in the country. Between 1886 and 1895, St Paul's boys won 173 entrance awards at Oxford and Cambridge, which was 26 more than any other school. Over many years its record of Open Awards at Oxford and Cambridge in all subjects has been equal, or superior, to that of any other school of comparable size. Since the introduction of league tables of public examination results at GCSE and A level, St Paul's has consistently been placed at or near the top of all boys' school results throughout the country.

Buildings
The St Paul's School building in Cheapside in 1827 The original school, which stood in St Paul's Churchyard, was destroyed with the Cathedral in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The school was twice rebuilt, first in 1670, and again in Cheapside in 1822; but towards the end of the 19th century, as London expanded and residents moved away from the City of London and its environs, it was decided that the school should move to larger premises.

In 1884 a new building designed by the architect Alfred Waterhouse rose to dominate the countryside of Hammersmith. The terracotta for the Hammersmith school was made by the famous Gibbs and Canning Limited of Tamworth. At this time the street numbering was changed locally and so the school address, whether by accident or design, became 153 Hammersmith Road. The preparatory school, Colet Court, was soon afterwards housed in new premises in a similar style on the opposite side of the road. The Natural History Museum in South Kensington, London, has an ornate terracotta facade typical of high Victorian architecture. ...

In September 1939, the School was evacuated to Easthampstead Park, near Crowthorne in Berkshire, where, under the then High Master, W. F. Oakeshott, it became solely a boarding school for the period of the war. Playing fields and some other facilities were borrowed from nearby Wellington College, but the boys and the teachers from the two schools were kept entirely separate. There are many schools known as Wellington College. ...
In the meantime, the London buildings became the H.Q. of XXI Army Group under the command of General, later Field-Marshal, Bernard Montgomery, himself an Old Pauline. There the military side of the invasion of Europe was planned, including the D-Day landings. The map that he used is still present in the modern day site of the school in the Montgomery Room.

The School recovered its buildings in September 1945, and resumed life essentially as a day school (although it retains a small number of boarders to this day).
By 1961 it had become evident that the old school buildings were unsuited to modern educational needs. By good fortune, the opportunity then came to rebuild the School on a 45 acre (182,000 m²) riverside site at Barnes, adjacent to Hammersmith Bridge. The present and fifth School buildings were opened here in September 1968. The new site also includes St Paul's Preparatory School, or Colet Court, whose pupils account for roughly one half of the senior school's intake each year. The Waterhouse building on Hammersmith Road was demolished (amid protests) — apart from the gates and the peripheral walls, the High Master's House, and a toolhut — and flats were built on the site. The Colet Court building also survives. Barnes is a suburb in south-west London in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. ...

The 1968 buildings include a swimming pool and other extensive sports facilities, and a canteen shared with Colet Court. There were originally two boarding houses (School House and High House) accommodating up to 120 boarders, though this number is now only 20. The buildings were built using a modular system of interlocking concrete slabs, partly because much of the site was formed from reservoir land which was still settling. The whole complex is now in need of replacement; the only existing buildings likely to remain are the Music school, incorporating the Wathen Hall, opened in 1999, and the Rackets Court. Plans to redevelop the site are now well advanced; a masterplan has been developed with the architectural consultants Patel Taylor, and Nicholas Hare Architects LLP have been appointed to produce detailed designs for the first set of new buildings, which should begin being built in 2009. The Wathen Hall at St Pauls School (London) in London is considered one of the most successful smaller concert halls to be built in London over the past decade. ...
Masterplan Copied from school's official website. The need to rebuild is based on the realisation that the existing facilities need improving over the next 25 years. The school wants to do this in a planned, organised and economic way. It is not motivated by any desire to grow or to fundamentally change the nature of the School.
The majority of the school's buildings date from the 1960s, not so old by comparison with many schools, but based on a 'system building' approach (CLASP) with a finite lifespan, they are approaching the end of that lifespan.
Other buildings have been added over the years in parts of the campus where space was available. Nevertheless, the CLASP buildings today represent 77% of the stock. Like many of the other institutions that chose the CLASP system, the St Paul's have studied the potential for their refurbishment but have found it to be uneconomic. Accordingly, the school is setting out to replace most of them with buildings that meet modern standards of space provision and environmental performance.
Planning restrictions, combined with a lack of available land, mean that St Paul's is faced with progressively replacing obsolete CLASP buildings with new buildings located in the same general area as the existing buildings.
The plan should result in the following:
- Building footprint increase 3238 m2
- Building area increase 15709 m2
- Remaining CLASP buildings 3714 m2
- Net increase in staff housing 26
- Reduction in car parking spaces 4
- Increase in cycle spaces 60
Associated schools By the end of the nineteenth century the funds of the Dean Colet Foundation had increased to such an extent that the Trustees decided to build a school for girls, and in 1904, St Paul's Girls' School was opened in Brook Green, Hammersmith, just around the corner from the then site of the boys school in Hammersmith Road. Unlike the boys, the girls' school remains in its original position, although it has expanded and constructed new buildings and facilities alongside the old. During the past 100 years the School has earned a reputation which today places it foremost among girls' schools in the country. St Pauls Girls School (or SPGS) is a major British independent school, located in Hammersmith, London. ...
Hammersmith is an urban centre in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in West London, England, approximately 5 miles (8km) west of Charing Cross on the north bank of the River Thames. ...
In 1881, a boys' preparatory school was founded which later became Colet Court. Colet Court is now on the same site as the main school and most of its pupils are expected to pass into St Paul's School when they reach the age of 13. It thus serves as a junior school for the main establishment. Colet Court is a preparatory school for boys aged 7 to 13, associated with St Pauls School in London, to which most pupils then go. ...
Present day The Boys' School numbered 846 boys in 2005, the 496th year of its foundation. Approaching its 500th anniversary an ambitious total rebuilding of the School at its present site is planned, to be completed over a 25-year period. This is called the "Masterplan" of St Paul's School and the details can be viewed here. The current headmaster, Martin Stephen, recently announced an aspiration for the school to be needs-blind within 25 years — £250 million will need to be raised to accomplish this.
The school day lasts from 8.35 a.m. to 4.15 p.m. and consists of 8 periods, including a one and three-quarter hour lunch break during which pupils usually participate in sporting or extracurricular activities, such as football, rowing, debating or computing. Pupils of all ages are not allowed to leave the school premises without permission at any time during the school day.
The school still maintains a limited boarding facility for the use of some twenty boys. There are strong boarding house traditions including the annual bonfire and two hours of compulsory study known as "prep" every evening. Newer traditions include the sponsored all night five-a-side football tournament, a "charity sponging" event and the 4-2-1 football league tournament.
The school has a strong sports department. Richard Mulcaster, who was High Master from 1596, is considered the father of early modern football in England. St Paul's was also a founding member of the Rugby Football Union in 1871. It was pre-eminent in public school boxing, its first team failing to win only two boxing matches against first team boxers from other schools over a period of 25 years; however, boxing was discontinued as a school sport in the 1960s. More recently, the school teams were runners-up in the rugby U15 Daily Mail Cup in 2005 and in 2007 and the Boat Club has twice won the Princess Elizabeth Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta. Richard Mulcaster, one of the greatest British educational visionaries, is known best for his headmasterships and paedegogic writings. ...

Many former pupils keep in touch with each other through the Old Pauline Club. Various sporting clubs are affiliated to the Old Pauline Club, such as the Old Pauline Football Club (OPFC), the Old Pauline Association Football Club (OPAFC), the Old Pauline Cricket Club (OPCC), the Old Pauline Association Club (OPAC) and the Old Pauline Harvey Chess Society (OPHCS), who participate in many national tournaments with moderate success. There are also various websites set up by Old Paulines themselves. Links to the OPC, OPFC, OPAFC, OPCC, and student websites are provided at the bottom of this page.
In 2005, St Paul's obtained (for the second year running) the best overall placing in the GCSE exam league tables published nationally, and was also the leading boys school in the A level results tables. 60% of its leavers went to Oxford and Cambridge, which was also the highest proportion achieved by any boys' school in the country. Oxbridge is a name used to refer to the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the two oldest in the United Kingdom and the English-speaking world. ...
School coat of arms Like many ancient educational foundations, St Paul's School traditionally used the arms of its founder, John Colet. His arms were Sable on a chevron Argent between three Hinds trippant Argent three Annulets Sable, and they were originally used by his great-grandfather, Richard Colet. As Dean of St Paul's, he was entitled to impale them with the arms of the Deanery, and the school has often used them in this form also. In 2002, the school obtained its own grant of arms from the College of Arms consisting of the arms of Dean Colet surrounded by a gold bordure, upon which the crossed swords of the Dean of St Paul's are repeated. John Colet John Colet, (January 1467 – September 10, 1519), was an English churchman and educational pioneer. ...
