Senior Classes

Third Class

Third Class is the start of the senior classes. Pupils take on more independent work, start learning a modern foreign language and explore history and geography in more depth.

Welcome to Third Class! A big year of new subjects and new challenges lies ahead.

Fourth Class

In Fourth Class, pupils grow as independent learners, taking on longer projects, more challenging maths and new topics across the curriculum.

Sixth Class

Sixth Class is a big year. Pupils get ready for secondary school, take part in projects like the Junior Entrepreneur Programme and the 6th Class podcast, and set an example for the younger classes.

Welcome to Sixth Class! Let’s make our last year in St. Joseph’s one to remember.

Class 8 (Senior ASD Class)

Class 8 is our senior autism class. Pupils work towards their own goals in a bright, well-equipped room, and take part in mainstream classes and whole-school activities in a way that suits them.

Welcome to Class 8! We’re looking forward to a great year of learning together.
