In this Parents’ Handbook we have brought together some of the information you will need while your child is at the School. We hope that you will find it informative, both in terms of the School’s ethos, but also in the provision of practical guidance on day to day organisation. We are committed to creating and maintaining an educational environment which nurtures, nourishes and stimulates young minds and talents; one where the children can gain both a thorough academic foundation but also a wealth of experiences and challenges. We want the pupils to feel proud of their School. We want them to enjoy a secure and ordered framework through which they can develop their self-esteem and confidence as they mature intellectually and emotionally, and as they discover the riches of successful participation and achievement. Furthermore, we hope that, when they leave the School, they will take with them warm friendships and cherished memories that will last a lifetime. At the Cathedral School we are always seeking to improve in all that we do, whether in the classroom, on the sports field, in extra-curricular activities or in the general administration and organisation of the School.

A Great Historic Spectacle - the Sheriff’S Ride
Autumn 2012 Website: www.beaconstreetara.org Email: [email protected] A Great Historic Spectacle - The Sheriff’s Ride. If you had been in Beacon Street on the morning of Saturday 8th September, you probably would have seen Lichfield’s current Sheriff, Mr. Brian Bacon, being driven slowly up the street in a bright pink Cadillac. Following behind was the splendid sight of 50 beautifully turned out horses and their riders, all taking part in the 2012 Sheriff’s Ride. Some horses from Cannock Chase Trekking Centre We must thank and congratulate Lichfield City Council for continuing to support and organise this historic event. If you enjoy a good day’s riding, you could join next year’s ride and be part of Lichfield’s proud heritage in 2013. Riders acknowledging Beacon Street residents This annual event started in 1553, when Queen Mary granted Lichfield County status. The Sheriff was ordered to perambulate the boundary of the County and City of Lichfield once a year. Nowadays the Ride covers a scenic 20 mile route around Lichfield before returning down Beacon Street at about six o’clock; when the Sheriff is met by the Sword and Mace Bearers at the corner of Anson Avenue. The party is then led to the Cathedral where they are welcomed by the Dean. After a short refreshment stop, the Ride makes its way to the Guildhall where it finishes and the riders disperse. - 1 - extra work party on 21st October to hopefully clear Let’s Support Pipe Green as far as the bridge. A big thanks to everyone who came along and helped in September”.
