Before the opening of Sunbury Police Station in 1882, Mr Mitchison, who was the local Justice of the Peace (magistrate) had special permission to conduct the court in a room of this grand house.

It was owned at one time by a non-Catholic group who were not pleased that the newly built St. Ignatius' Church could be viewed from their windows, so they decided to sell the house and lands.

[2] A new building, consisting of three classrooms, a staff room and office, was built on the opposite side of Green Street to accommodate the increasing number of pupils.

Changes in the Education Policy meant that the independent school, St. Teresa's, was no longer viable and it became incorporated into the public sector.

To facilitate this change, the Sisters built a new school joined to the original building, as well as tennis courts and developed the playing field.

The name of the school was to honour the Religious Order that first established Catholic secondary education in this area; the Sisters of Charity of St Paul's.

These opportunities arise in various types of applied Design and Technology, or enabled within the theoretical and skill-based studies of the sciences (including mathematics) and the arts.

Previously a voluntary aided school administered by Surrey County Council,[5] in December 2022 St Paul's converted to academy status.

Ceri Bacon was appointed to be the Headteacher in 2011 and at the close of that academic year presided over a 94.6% pass rate of five A*-Cs at GCSE level.

This upward trend, although by a smaller proportion, continued in 2011, so that attainment in English by the end of Year 11 is now above the national average and around the national average in mathematicsEmblazoned onto the school uniform items is the school motto, DISCE PRODESSE which can rendered into English as: Learn (or study) to profit (improve).
