Is St Pauls suitable for a quiet boy?

My son has a place at St Paul's for Year 9 in 2026. He is more of an introvert and on the quiet side, whilst also not being very sporty. However, he is very academic and is excelling at his current school academically. As a child who is not into football, rugby and other sports, will he cope in the St Pauls environment and more importantly, will he thrive? Will he become more confident or will he become more quiet in an environment where everyone around him is very bold? One of the key reasons we would invest in a St Pauls education, is so that our son will hopefully become more confident, more outgoing and more socialiable and utilise all of the clubs and societies available etc. Does anyone have a son who joined St Pauls with a similar personality and found that the school helped him to build confidence, develop social skills further and thrive in the St Pauls environment? I would appreciate any input anyone may have!
