Lichfield Cathedral School

The superb grounds of the School, set against the magnificent backdrop of the Cathedral, provide an inspirational setting for a multitude of sporting activities; all children participate in organised games and PE. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in team sport and we have a busy programme of competitive matches against other schools, usually played on Wednesdays but occasionally at weekends.

The main sports are football, rugby and cricket for the boys, and hockey, netball and rounders for the girls. All children participate in athletics and cross-country running, and a wide variety of other activities, such as tennis, softball, volleyball, badminton and uni-hoc are also included in the curriculum. In addition, those who wish can join an After-School Club and develop further interests including table tennis and aikido.

Children in the Junior School have swimming tuition at a nearby sports centre.

A number of Cathedral School pupils have represented England or Great Britain in various sports, including Judo, Rounders and Boxing.
