Apposition 2026

The tradition of Apposition dates back to the school’s founding in 1509 and was originally intended as the means by which the Mercers’ Company could assess the teaching staff and the High Master in particular. They had the right to dismiss or reappoint the staff as a result. This year’s Apposer is Professor Henrietta Harrison, Professor of Modern Chinese Studies at the University of Oxford.

Prizewinners and their parents are invited to celebrate this historic and important day for St Paul’s and will be invited directly. In addition, parents who would like to witness this historic ceremony will be able to register for the Live Stream in due course.
