Contents |
It is a Roman Catholic school, and became a specialist school in maths and computing in September 2005. It is ethnically diverse, with a mixture of Black and White English/Irish pupils.
It is situated just north of the A456 and B4125, just south of Edgbaston Reservoir. The school is named after St Paul's Convent, and the headmistresses were nuns until 1998.
It was founded on 7 October 1908, from an earlier establishment based on Whittall Street. St Paul's Convent had been founded at Selly Park in 1864. It became a girls' grammar school, the analogous school of the former St. Philip's School. Part of the school was destroyed by fire in November 1973. Mother Teresa visited on 12 September 1974. It became a comprehensive in the mid 1970s.
It has relatively high GCSE pass rates for similar schools in the Birmingham LEA and in England.[1] The School is high in the top schools for academic excellence and is very good. In 2009 it got the second best A-level results for comprehensive schools in Birmingham, with results similar to a grammar school. The best comprehensive is Plantsbrook School in Sutton Coldfield.
