Sports News

At St. Paul's, we value physical activity through P.E, active break times and out of school opportunities. Children are offered after school sports clubs throughout the year. We attend competitions held by Sport Development and the West Oldham Sports Cluster. We also seek other competitive opportunities such as local football leagues, netball leagues and make links with clubs for other sports such as cricket.

Here are some of our teams from 2023-2024:
