A Church of England Foundation dating back over 800 years, St Paul's Cathedral School is a co-educational school for children aged 4-13 and a boarding school for boy choristers from 7-13 years. It is governed by the Dean and Chapter of St Paul's Cathedral. Originally solely a choir school, it expanded to accept day boys in 1989. In 1998 the co-educational pre-prep department was opened and the school became fully co-educational in 2001.

The school offers a broad curriculum leading to scholarship and Common Entrance examinations. The refurbished school facilities include modern class rooms, science laboratory, computer room, art room, music room and practice rooms, library, hall/gymnasium, common room and a TV/video room. All pupils are encouraged to play a musical instrument (most pupils play two) and there are two school orchestras. A wide variety of games is offered - pupils play field sports at local playing fields and have weekly swimming lessons. The children have their own playground and the use of the hall for indoor games and gymnastics. Located in a purpose built block at the eastern end of the Cathedral site in London's 'Square Mile', every opportunity is taken to make use of the school's proximity to museums, galleries, theatres and other attractions which London has to offer. The chorister boarders are housed on the same site and are fully integrated with the day children for all their academic studies and games. The stimulating cathedral choral training offers the chorister boarders a unique opportunity to participate in the rich musical life of St Paul's and the City. The pre-prep department has purpose designed classrooms and separate play areas.

Non-chorister (day) candidates are invited for interview and short test before entry in September at 7+ years. Voice trials and tests for prospective (boarding) choristers are held generally in February, May and October. Pre-prep children are seen in Autumn of year before entry at 3+ years.
