St Paul's Way Trust School is a mixed all-through school located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, England.
The School became a Foundation Trust School in March 2010. The Foundation Trust comprises Queen Mary, University of London, King's College London, University of East London, University of Warwick, Catlin Group Limited, London Borough of Tower Hamlets and Tower Hamlets NHS.
In March 2013 Ofsted described the school as outstanding in every category. It commended the school for its “relentless pursuit of scholarship and excellence”. This follows a sustained and rapid improvement in GCSE results that ranked the school amongst the 'most improved schools in England' for 3 consecutive years.
The School moved into an award winning new building with outstanding facilities in January 2011. It is a Faraday Science Specialist School, which also specializes in Visual and Performing Arts. Its academic Sixth Form opened in September 2011.
The school began admitting primary age children in September 2014.
St Paul’s Way Trust School, a flagship new build school, is part of the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme. The building’s innovative design received a number of awards and nominations:
Facilities, open to the community, include a public library, a theatre and a large public sports provision.
The area surrounding the school has recently undergone a major improvement thanks to the work done by the St Paul’s Way Transformation Project, of which the school is a member.
The school operates a sixth form provision in consortium with Bow School, Langdon Park School and Stepney Green Maths, Computing & Science College. The sixth form consortium is known as Sixth Form East.
