  • Lichfield Cathedral School STATEMENT of BOARDING PRINCIPLES and PRACTICE
    Lichfield Cathedral School STATEMENT OF BOARDING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE Introduction The School was re-founded in 1942 (as St Chad’s Cathedral School) principally as a boarding school for the choristers of Lichfield Cathedral. However, non-chorister pupils have been admitted from the beginning. Until 1981 the School was owned and governed by the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral. However, since that date it has been a fully independent, coeducational preparatory school, known as Lichfield Cathedral School, until the decision was taken to move into secondary education in 2005. The school opened the Sixth Form in September 2010. Boys and girls are admitted at any time from the age of 3, choosing either to move on to other Schools at age 11, 13 or 16, or remain at the Cathedral School for their secondary education. There are presently 460 children in the School aged 3 – 18. School Mission Statement Lichfield Cathedral School is committed to creating and maintaining an educational environment which nurtures, nourishes and stimulates young minds and talents; where children may gain a thorough academic foundation; and where daily life is conducted according to Christian values and the experience of Christian worship. The School is determined to provide a secure and ordered framework within which children and young people may grow in self-esteem and confidence, discover the riches of successful participation and achievement, and develop a spirit of generosity and service to the wider community. Boarding at Lichfield Lichfield Cathedral School currently provides a maximum of 24 boarding places for boys aged 8 – 13 accommodated within the Grade 1 listed building known as The Palace in the Cathedral Close.

The techy part of our project is almost finished. The museum now boasts new VoIP telephones (voice over internet phones) and Wi-Fi boosters in most rooms. Internet speeds are greatly improved for our staff and volunteers. Visitors will be able to access the internet in order to listen to the QR Codes and post a few pics onto social media. A lesser strength of internet and a separate line of use which does not compromise our own computers security. QR Code recordings have been completed and currently being edited. We feel this will enhance the visitor experience to the Old House. The next task is to upload these recordings to our new website which is also receiving a lot of technical support thanks to Lesley Ayers, Duncan and Joyce Janes. The Covid film interviews are almost complete with just a couple still to film which are Lady Manners School and Bakewell Town Hall. Editing the films will be a time consuming job and this is currently underway. Thank you for sending in your Covid images. These will feature on the website along with the films. 2 LOCKDOWN by George Challenger The comparison with the 1665 lockdown at Eyam reminds me of how the Old House Museum was used in November 2001 for filming for a documentary for Channel 4.
