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:
“Children learn and remember at least as much from the context of the classroom as from the content of the coursework.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Consider the islands bearing the names of all the saints, bristling with forts like chestnut-burs, or Echinidæ, yet the police will not let a couple of Irishmen have a private sparring- match on one of them, as it is a government monopoly; all the great seaports are in a boxing attitude, and you must sail prudently between two tiers of stony knuckles before you come to feel the warmth of their breasts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
