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.

With years-deep dust, and names we read
On a white stone were hewn.”
