Did you know? Useful information for parents FREE SINGING WORKSHOP On Saturday 20 January, boys aged 6-11 and girls aged 9-13 are invited to a free Singing Workshop (9.30am-3.00pm) at Lichfield Cathedral School. The children will learn how to sing choral music and experience what it is like to be a chorister when they sing during the Eucharist service that day. Expert tuition by professional vocal tutors, lunch and all music is provided free. This is a unique, relaxed, informal and rewarding day of singing with children of a similar age and ability. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to give it a go! Be a chorister to dramatically reduce independent school fees Did you know that boy and girl choristers get large scholarships to help towards school fees? On top of this, parents can apply for bursaries and other financial support, such as from the Choir Schools Association. This way, children who are interested in and enjoy singing can benefit from an independent school education, without the associated costs. To book your free place on the Singing Workshop, call the Admissions team on 01543 306168 or email admissions@lichfieldcathedralschool.com for a booking form.

Since Christmas I’ve spent most weekends revising, gradually building up as we got closer to the exam dates.” Arvin added: “I am speechless, I put in such a lot of work and extra hours studying, especially in English Literature, but the results are definitely worth it.” Acting Head, Lesley Reynolds, said: “Our pupils have achieved outstanding success in this year’s GCSEs. 72% of all passes are at A*, A or numerical equivalent, and 80% of science passes are at A* or A.
