Lichfield Cathedral School

Lichfield Cathedral School holds Christian values at its heart, welcoming children of all denominations and faiths. Great emphasis is placed on pastoral guidance and in this caring and supportive environment, the children flourish. The staff, well aware of each child's individual needs, are quick to recognise problems as well as triumphs. In addition, the strong partnership that exists between school and parents provides stability and continuity.

Daily life is full and after-school clubs thrive. Boys and girls, day pupils and boarders mix happily and easily, forming friendships that endure beyond the school gates, and in this extended 'family' the children enjoy an active social life. There is a member of staff and a matron on duty for all pupils at all times. Furthermore, the playgrounds and moat play area are fully supervised.

The School Nurse visits the Junior School each week to advise on health issues and organises regular training for staff in the care of children diagnosed with medical conditions such as Diabetes and Anaphylaxis.  She is also responsible for carrying out medicals for all children during their Reception Year.

The Junior School environment offers the younger children extensive grassy play areas, including a 'Secret Garden' accessed through a small gate at the bottom of the playground.  As well as a hard playground there is a tennis court used by the children at playtimes and lunchtimes and for games lessons and clubs.

Uniform is straightforward and the clothing list is kept as short as possible, bearing in mind appearance, usefulness and cost. There is a school clothing shop on site, offering both new and nearly new items.
