Classroom Names
Each of the general classrooms on the Upper and Lower Galleries of the school is named after a saint. Formerly they were named after the classes which mostly occupied them but the creation of study centres for each playroom meant that no one class became associated with a particular room. A short biography of each saint hangs on the wall of each classroom.
The general classrooms:
- Clitherow
- Garnet
- Gonzaga
- Southwell
- Xavier
-
The interior of St Peter's Church.
-
The interior of the Boys' Chapel from the organ loft. The chapel is now known as the College Chapel.

Famous quotes containing the words classroom and/or names:
“The cloakroom pegs are empty now,
And locked the classroom door,
The hollow desks are dimmed with dust....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Without infringing on the liberty we so much boast, might we not ask our professional Mayor to call upon the smokers, have them register their names in each ward, and then appoint certain thoroughfares in the city for their use, that those who feel no need of this envelopment of curling vapor, to insure protection may be relieved from a nuisance as disgusting to the olfactories as it is prejudicial to the lungs.”
—Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
