Lichfield Cathedral School Cathedral School praises high performing students
Lichfield Cathedral School is again celebrating the outstanding academic performance of its students at GCSE and A Level. 91% of GCSE students achieved at least 5 A*-C grades and nearly 60% of all grades were A*-B. 54% of all A Level grades were A*-B and all students gained places on the university courses of their choice.
"This is another set of strong results with outstanding grades in the traditional, more demanding academic subjects, showing that the Cathedral School continues to prepare its students for the challenges of A Level and beyond. I am delighted that the School has sustained its high level of attainment and it is a pleasure to see so many superb individual performances," said head teacher Susan Hannam.
Students undertake a self-directed research project on a subject of their choice, which helps them to refine their investigation, analysis, presentation and written skills. “The EPQ was perfect preparation for university,”said sixth former Beth Goodwin. “I’ve learned how to manage my time,
plan and carry out a project from start to finish and analyse a large amount of data efficiently. I’ve learned a lot about how I work best, which has given me the confidence to know I’ll make the most of the Geography course at the University of Brighton.”
"There are three elements that work together to create this high level of academic success," continued Sue Hannam. "First, the students themselves need to adopt a mature and committed approach to their work. Second, this has to be complemented by imaginative, stimulating and challenging lessons to help students develop a love of learning. Third, talented teachers eager to go beyond the taught syllabus, stretching
students, challenging them to exceed their own expectations and appreciate the value of learning for its own sake.
“Although the focus today is on academic achievement, it is important to remember that Cathedral School students gain a fully rounded education. Our commitment to learning, leadership, faith and service helps each person to develop their individual talents within a Christian ethos, all of which makes these achievements possible."
