The Friary is an all-ability coeducational school for students aged 11 to 18 situated in the north of the city of Lichfield in Staffordshire.

At the Friary our fundamental purpose is to provide high quality education for all pupils within a caring environment dedicated to learning, in which independence, tolerance and partnership are encouraged.

Our aims are as follows:

To enable our students to gain a foundation of knowledge, skills and an understanding of the world which will serve their own particular needs and prepare them for adult life.

To help students to develop enquiring, critical and imaginative minds and to stimulate the desire to learn beyond the school as well as within.

To encourage students to develop their own talents and to increase their aspirations of what they may achieve.

To create an environment and ethos in which students develop respect for others, both as people and as learners, finding enrichment in the differences of belief, custom, race, age and gender.

To share with parents the task of caring for each child's happiness, health and development.

To ensure that our specialist status in Arts and Sports enhances standards of performance across the whole school.
