St. Paul's Schools

The Mercers' Company is the trustee of the St. Paul's School's Foundation the main objective of which is to provide financial and other support to St. Paul's School and St. Paul's Girls' School.

 

John Colet, Mercer and Dean of St Paul’s Cathedral, founded St Paul’s School in 1509, and entrusted his estate to the Company for the endowment of the school. It was originally situated at the east end of St Paul’s Cathedral, but in 1884 it moved to Hammersmith.

 

A new School, with its own preparatory school, Colet Court, was built at Barnes, West London, and opened in 1968. In 1904 the trust was enlarged to found St. Paul’s Girls’ School at Hammersmith.

 

 

The Company appoints 19 of the 21 Governors of the school.

 

The School has a Preparatory School, Colet Court. Both the Senior and Preparatory schools have boarding facilities although most students are day boys. There are 830 students in the Senior School and 430 pupils in the Preparatory School.
