St Paul's Catholic School is a voluntary-aided Roman Catholic secondary school and sixth form in Evington, Leicester, England, teaching years 7-13.
It is one of two Catholic comprehensives in the Leicester area, the other being English Martyrs Catholic School. There are 1050 students on roll at St Paul's, 180 of whom are sixth-formers. They are organised into years, with years 7, 8 and 9 (Key Stage 3 years) constituting the "lower school"; years 10 and 11 (GCSE years) constituting the "upper school"; and years 12 and 13 (A-Level years) constituting the "sixth form". Years 7-11 are headed by a Head of Year (also called a Progress Leader), and years 12 and 13 are headed by the Head of Sixth Form (role performed by an Assistant Headteacher), assisted by an Assistant Head of Sixth Form.
It is situated off the B667 road, just west of City of Leicester College.
Evington Hall Convent Grammar School was a girls' grammar school on Spencefield Lane (B667). The Convent of the Nativity Junior School was on the same site.
The school was created in 1977 from the merger of two local Catholic schools - Evington Hall, the girls' grammar school that served the city and county; and Corpus Christi, the local secondary modern school built in 1950 on Gwendolen Road which is now the site of a non-denominational Primary School since 1978. The current building includes the original Evington Hall building as well as several wings built over the years. The additions have made the school building roughly twice the size it was upon the school's foundation. The school celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 2002, with an open day for alumni, hosted by students and staff. In 2003, the school attained specialist Performing Arts College status.
From September 2011, the former site of the grammar school, at Evington Hall, will become the Leicester Krishna-Avanti Primary School, a Hindu free school. It had previously been occupied until 2008 by the Junior School of the independent Leicester Grammar School, which moved to Great Glen. The owners of the building failed to get planning permission for housing.
