Schools in Lichfield

Flanked by Minster Pool and Stowe Pool, Lichfield is a cathedral city in Staffordshire with roots stretching to 669 AD, when Chad of Mercia established his bishopric on the site of the three-spired medieval cathedral. The city had 34,738 residents at the 2021 Census.

Cathedral Close and Lichfield City Centre form the school-competitive core, drawing families competing for state school places, while Boley Park to the south has long been one of the most sought-after residential pockets for primary catchments. Eastern Lichfield and Streethay extend the residential footprint eastward; the 12th-century ladder-shaped street pattern that Roger de Clinton laid out still defines the centre, and Lichfield City station links to Birmingham New Street in around 50 minutes via the Cross-City Line.
