Junior

Our Junior School pupils are surrounded by learning in a vibrant setting, helping pupils in the Green Blazer open their minds and uncover their talents.

We offer a stimulating and challenging curriculum, rich and varied in nature, with an excellent foundation in Expressive Arts, Health and Wellbeing, Languages, Mathematics, Religious and Moral Education, Sciences, Social Studies and Technologies. These areas underpin learning for children and young people aged 3-18, designed to foster core skills. Our St. Aloysius' College 3-18 curriculum offers smooth progression from Kindergarten to S6. In the Junior School, it is supported by Specialist Teaching in Art, Science, Music, PE and Modern Foreign Languages.

To best meet the needs of every child, the Junior School is made up of two sections - Early Years and Juniors - with a special progression year for Primary 7, to ensure our young people are fully prepared for making the transition to Senior School.

Our Co-Curricular programme, including lunchtime clubs, after-school clubs and charitable focus, supports our curriculum and is at the core of our aspiration for our young people to discover a deeper delight in learning.

As a Catholic school, the Junior School is privileged to support children in their Sacramental journey. Our teachers work closely with parents and carers and our Chaplaincy team to guide and inform children as they prepare. Our holistic approach to faith and values ensures that they appreciate the Sacraments and God’s gift in the greater context of learning and growing.

Our Pastoral programme ensures that children are supported by staff who listen and with whom they can share their joys, cares and concerns. We place people at the heart of all that we do to ensure that we have a community of diversity, individual care and mutual respect for all.

With appropriate class sizes and Specialist Subjects in Modern Foreign Languages, Art, PE, Science and Music, our Junior School has a proven track record of success.

As a Jesuit School, we believe in educating the whole child. In the Junior School, this means placing equal importance on academic excellence, personal development, wellbeing and faith. Every child is known and valued as an individual, encouraged to discover their talents and grown in kindness and understanding of others.
