School Friends of Chichester Cathedral

For a modest annual membership fee, your school can join the School Friends of Chichester Cathedral. The Cathedral is a wonderful teaching resource for schools, with the Education Department offering workshops, tours and special events across a broad variety of subject areas. The School Friends’ programme is very much an integral part of this.

“Before, I thought the Cathedral was boring but you made it fun! I loved the tour because it showed me new things about the Cathedral. I also thought the drama was good because it was fun and we learnt some history”
Pupil, Singleton Primary, School Friends - December 2010




“The School Friends’ Service brings a sense of togetherness to the schools. The children were so enthusiastic that they gave up their lunch breaks to practise”
Mr Williams, Head, Nyewood CE Junior School, School Friends
