St Paul’s Academy is a specialist school in Sport and Business based in Greenwich for pupils aged 11-16. It opened in September 2005 as part of the Government’s Academy programme, backed by the Archdiocese of Southwark, and will eventually cater for 1200 students.

Initially the Academy is operating out of the buildings formerly occupied by its predecessor, St Paul’s Catholic School, whilst it waits for its new £26 million campus to be completed on a nearby site. A four-storey temporary building has been erected on the site to provide additional accommodation, as the number of pupils on roll has already increased from 560 to 640.

We were introduced to St Paul’s Academy in 2005 by education partners that we had previously worked with on other Academy projects. In the short-term the Academy was looking to upgrade the facilities in the existing building and the temporary accommodation. This would enable them to start to deliver an enhanced curriculum to their students and make an impact on the learning process whilst they waited for the new site to be completed.
