Pupils in the final two years at St Paul’s Juniors are known as Third Years (Years 7 & 8).
With the 11+ entry our oldest two year groups are larger, each having six forms of around 18 boys. Our new entrants bring a valuable added dimension to life at St Paul’s Juniors.
Leadership opportunities in the final two years are plentiful. Pupils may be selected to be a ‘buddy to a new pupil, or perhaps be chosen by their peers as House Captain, lead a choir or the Orchestra or captain a sports team. They may also apply for the prestigious role of School Monitor. The focus is very much on developing fully the capabilities of each boy in preparation for his next stage of education at St Paul’s School.
Academically the pupils embark on their Key Stage 3 education with the added dimension of Ancient Greek in the Upper Third Year (Year 8). This secondary-style education transitions smoothly into the curriculum on offer at St Paul’s School.
