CULTURE

Lilfordia offers an extensive and lively culture; from music, orchestra, singing, dance and drama to public speaking and presentation.

Music and Drama are very high profile. Every pupil is introduced to music and theory by learning to play the recorder and through interactive Sibelius software which assists in the writing and reading of music. The progression of this will see every pupil achieve a solid grounding in music and the more talented proceed to master various other string and wind instruments. On the drama front, every class produces a play annually which is performed at the end of the second term and every two years the senior classes will be involved in a major collaborative production of one of the West End favourites. We are also the only school that submits a choir for every class at the annual Allied Arts Choral competition and in conjunction with this have a Chapel Choir and an  a cappella group as well.





























PASTORIAL

A culture of welfare and happiness of pupils, particularly in a boarding school environment, are of fundamental and paramount importance. To ensure this, all pupils have access to 24 hour nursing care by two fully qualified nurses and are shepherded and monitored by several prefects, matrons and staff. Our modern kitchen provides healthy and hearty meals and teas to ensure that the children are well fed and nourished. Bedtimes are highlighted with popular and classic stories read by the attending staff or elaborate plays and skits performed by the pupils.

Lilfordia is a weekly boarding facility with the exception of pupils competing in matches on a Saturday whereby they stay in on Friday night and are collected after matches on Saturday. A bus service is provided to Westgate every Friday and will return pupils to school on Monday morning.

SCHOOL COUNSELLOR

The school has an official counsellor who is available to make appointments with pupils at appropriate times during school hours. As well as the necessary training and skills the counsellor has knowledge of available services for referral where necessary.





























SPORT

A malleable out-of-school time-table compiled daily ensures that each and every pupil is gainfully occupied in both sessions of every afternoon and a committed line-up of coaches try to make maximum use of the time at their disposal.  Facilities for sports are outstanding; most notably the extensive and excellent playing fields. Every pupil will have the opportunity to represent the school in all the major sports.
