St Lawrence College Junior School offers a supportive, caring environment, based on traditional Christian values, in which all children are encouraged to fulfil their potential. Academic expectations are high, but realistic and open-minded, and pupils are provided with a wide range of opportunities - moral, intellectual, physical and cultural. Children are guided and nurtured by a caring and dedicated team of teachers whose aim is to find something special in everyone.
The Junior School is well provided with its own independent facilities, including Science Lab, two networked ICT suites, and separate Music Department and Performance Hall. It is fortunate also to share some of the Senior School’s outstanding facilities, including Design and Technology Centre, heated indoor swimming pool, floodlit ‘astroturf’ pitches and acres of sports fields.
Boarding is available to children from the age of 7 in the superb new Kirby House complex, which opened its doors in January 2007. An ultra-modern, eco-friendly building, Kirby House offers facilities and technology that most can only dream of! Its outstanding accommodation (with 5/6-bed dormitories, each with an en suite bathroom) is shared by the Junior and Middle School boarders. Sandwiched between the two original 19th century buildings, which symbolise the traditional values at the heart of the College, Kirby House epitomises our forward-looking approach to education and our ambitions for the children’s future.
In the classroom, we aim to offer a value-added factor beyond the narrow confines of the National Curriculum, and to make the most of teachers’ specialist skills and interests. Achievement in SATS at the end of Key Stage 2 provides a significant opportunity for all children to prove themselves in the core subjects, and recent results are well beyond national expectations. The majority of our pupils transfer to the Senior School at 11+, and academic scholarships are regularly earned. Academic life is enriched by a broad and varied extra-curricular programme in which sport, music and drama are all high in profile.
Bursaries are available to members of the Armed Forces and sibling discounts are offered to third and subsequent children.
I do hope you will be encouraged to visit us and to see for yourself how our teachers and pupils work together in partnership. You will be guaranteed a warm welcome and, I am sure, will feel immediately ‘at home’. I look forward to meeting you.
