Can you afford a first-class education from Nursery to Senior School?
You’ve made the decision to invest in a high-quality nursery for your child. It’s a choice many discerning parents make, knowing that the early years are crucial for development. But as your child approaches school age, a new question arises: why are parents willing to pay extra for high-quality nursery provisions like Lichfield Cathedral School's but when it comes to schooling, they are happy to settle for second best?
The truth is, your child's educational journey shouldn't stop at the nursery gates. The foundations laid in those crucial early years must be built upon, and that's where Lichfield Cathedral School stands out. Our outstanding Nursery provides an educational focus that prepares children for the next stage of their learning journey, but this is just the tip of the iceberg of what we have to offer.
The Comparison: Nursery vs School
For many families, the perceived difference in cost between a high-quality nursery and an outstanding independent school is a major deterrent. However, when you look at the numbers, you'll find that an exceptional education is far more accessible than you think.
A full-time place in a high-quality nursery can often cost upwards of £1,000 a month. This is a significant investment, one that parents are happy to make for the best start for their child. But did you know that the termly fees for a Lichfield Cathedral School education are on the lower end of the private school fee spectrum? With fees starting at £4,590 per term, the cost of a full-time education at LCS is comparable to, or only slightly more than, what you may already be paying for nursery.
This cost, when broken down, amounts to roughly £1,148 per month - a small difference for a monumental step up in quality. This investment provides access to our dedicated, passionate teachers and our close-knit community, ensuring that your child's education continues to be the best it can be.
The Real Value of an Outstanding Education
At Lichfield Cathedral School, we believe the greatest value lies not in extravagant facilities, but in the quality of the people - the exceptional staff who guide your child and the supportive community of students. We offer a continuous, seamless educational experience from nursery all the way through to Senior School, meaning your child benefits from a consistent and nurturing environment, eliminating the disruption of moving schools.
Choosing Lichfield Cathedral School means your child's education is an investment, not an expense. We are dedicated to making our school accessible to families who value a high-quality education. Through our scholarships, choristerships, and means-tested bursaries, we ensure that financial circumstances do not have to be a barrier to entry. Your commitment to a first-class nursery education is the first step; let us help you continue that commitment with a first-class education for life.
