About St Paul's Academy

St Paul's Academy in Greenwich is a Roman Catholic secondary school for boys and girls aged 11 to 16, with a headteacher named Anton Innocent. The school currently has 1,119 pupils on roll, which is a significant number given its official capacity of just 55. This suggests the school is operating well beyond its intended size, though the data doesn't clarify whether the capacity figure is a typo or reflects a specific administrative measure. In terms of intake demographics, the school's free school meal data isn't provided here, so it's hard to compare directly with national or local averages. However, the school is clearly in demand: it has an official sixth form, and the fact that it's oversubscribed relative to its stated capacity points to strong local interest. As a state-funded mixed school in a London borough with 19 secondary schools of the same type, St Paul's sits within a competitive landscape where only four schools hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted.
