The Old School
About the Old School
The St. Paul’s School was opened in 1848 by the vicar of St. Paul’s, Henry Bromby and Francis Close, the Rector of Cheltenham. The two clergymen saw the need for education in the community and raised the money for the school from local people.
The school shut in 1980 and was used by St. Paul’s Church as a centre for church activities. In 2013, the government decided that the site should be used for the community and church of St. Paul’s and a new charity was formed.
The Old School is next to the church. As well as being home to our Sunday Children’s and Youth Ministries, it is used during the week for the School House Cafe and various community groups.
