History

St Paul’s Catholic Secondary School was established in a Victorian school board building on Wickham Lane, Abbey Wood, in 1968. The school was converted to academy status in 2005, sponsored by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark. The school relocated to new buildings in 2010. Previously the school was under the control of Greenwich London Borough Council, and St Paul's continues to coordinate with Greenwich London Borough Council for admissions. 33% of school places are reserved for pupils from the local community, while remaining places are allocated to Roman Catholic pupils.
