St Paul's Church of England Primary School, located in the NW3 3DS postal district, is a Voluntary Aided school that embraces its Christian values and inclusivity within the local community. The school's curriculum derives from the National Curriculum for England, offering a broad, balanced education that emphasizes the importance of literacy, oracy, and subject richness. Students engage with diverse learning opportunities, such as learning the Ukulele, participating in Camden Music Festivals, and partaking in the Shakespeare for Schools Project and local sports activities.

St Paul's is a literacy-rich environment that encourages early reading and vocabulary development. The school has a strong sporting tradition with swimming as a significant aspect, along with additional sports through Camden competition programs. St Paul's has a close relationship with its linked church, St Mary the Virgin, Primrose Hill, which contributes to pastoral support for students, staff, and families. The vicar and her curate regularly visit the school, and the church offers a youth service that enhances the teaching of local issues, such as gang and knife culture.

As a culturally rich learning institution, St Paul's has also established links with Bowa School in Malawi, supporting fundraising and student exchanges. The school showcases clear expectations and progress levels for students, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), through carefully differentiated curriculum planning and formal reporting annually. Pupil Progress Meetings take place termly to review all children's progress, set new targets, and adapt provision where necessary.
