Admissions
Previously a voluntary aided school administered by Manchester City Council, St Paul's Catholic High School converted to academy status on 1 April 2013. The school is administered by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Shrewsbury but continues to coordinate with Manchester City Council for admissions.
The school was graded as 'inadequate' by Ofsted in 2015, highlighting 'serious weaknesses'.
The school is situated west of the M56 (North Cheshire Motorway). To the west nearby is Newall Green High School.
Curriculum
St Paul's Catholic High School offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils. Graduating students often go on to attend Loreto College and Xaverian College for sixth form education.
Former schools
St Augustine's Grammar School was an RC grammar school on Stancliffe Road, Sharston Mount in the north of Wythenshawe off the A560, which opened in 1969. It became the upper school of St John Plessington High School (comprehensive) in 1977. This became part of St Paul's RC High School in 1984, and the Sharston site became derelict in 1987, and demolished in 1988. Another RC grammar school in south Manchester was St Bede's College, Manchester at Whalley Range.
