Aims & Ethos
Our vision is to instil a joy of learning supported by our Christian values and a strong ethical foundation.
Our mission is to be a nationally recognised school with an inclusive community founded on Christian ideals of faith, learning, leadership and service. A school that will fulfil potential in body, mind, spirit and vocation.
Our gloriously individual pupils achieve the very best educational standards, developing character, ethical judgement and strength of personality on their own unique academic and personal journey.
Here every child matters and our pupils have, both individually and collectively, a real sense of pride in their school. Excellent teaching and learning lies at the heart of all we do, as does the responsibility for pupils and staff to be good citizens in our local, national and global communities.
The School’s educational philosophy is rooted in an understanding that each pupil has different talents and distinct qualities. Our primary focus is to nurture these talents, instil a love of learning and educate in the broadest possible sense. We offer a wide range of opportunity. Every pupil is encouraged to choose their own pathway, informed by his or her interests and ambitions. They are encouraged to perform to the best of their ability, academically as well as outside the classroom.
Strategic Development Plan 2023-2028
January 2025 Update
Great staff make a great school. Our staff are regularly commended by parents and pupils for their caring, inspirational and innovative approaches to learning. The strong family feel and nurturing ethos permeates throughout the school and we aim to ensure that the whole community is involved in all we do.
It is within this context that we are now issuing our updated 2023 - 2028 Strategic Development Plan. The feedback and ideas of pupils, parents, staff and governors form the basis of this plan. Designed to be flexible, this plan provides a framework to assist in making decisions about the future and is reviewed annually to ensure priorities are being met. This brief document is supported by a detailed operational plan that guides the implementation of actions to meet the objectives outlined here.
Our plan recognises the need for continual change so that Lichfield Cathedral School can continue to meet the challenges of the evolving educational landscape.
