Years 3 & 4
Placed in one of three small classes in both Year 3 and Year 4, pupils in the Junior Department build upon the crucial foundations laid in Pre-Prep, following a more structured timetable of individual subject lessons.
continuity and consistency
Pupils continue to benefit from the continuity and consistency of being taught predominantly by their Form Tutor, who is responsible for monitoring their academic and social development, whilst receiving specialist teaching in a greater number of subjects, including:
- Art
- Computing (ICT)
- Drama
- Design Technology
- French
- Games
- Latin
- Music
- Physical Education
Enhanced Learning
Beyond the classroom, pupils’ learning is enhanced through an exciting programme of themed trips and visits, including the hugely popular Year 3 Ancient Egyptian Day and the Year 4 Roman Day. The Junior Production, Golden Ticket Afternoon, Year 4 Ceilidh, Carols Around the Tree and an annual Poetry Celebration are also highlights in the Junior Department calendar.
Within a happy, tightly-knit community, founded upon high expectations and mutual supportiveness, on the upper two floors of our St Martin’s building, Year 3 and 4 pupils relish beginning the more formal phase of their education.
