St. Paul's is a Catholic Primary School with a two-form entry. The school is located in Thames Ditton and serves the three parishes of Cobham, Esher and Thames Ditton. 

As a Catholic school, our mission is to educate the whole child. We aim to create a 'can-do' atmosphere; holding all members of the community to high expectations. We will endeavour to never miss an opportunity to offer praise, highlight positive behaviour and set achievement goals.

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the biggest decisions that you will ever have to make. To help you make this choice, please use the links below which will open the Admissions Criteria.
