Our annual Year 12 v Year 13 football match is taking place on Friday 17 January at Lichfield FC stadium and is raising funds for The Pathways Project – Lichfield’s support group for domestic violence.

The gates open at 6.30pm and kick off is at 7.00pm.

Both teams are mixed – so male and female students – and though it is a competitive fixture, there is still a lot of fun.

Tickets are £4.50 on entry – cash only – and all funds go the very worthwhile cause.

The tickets are only available to Sixth Forms students – younger students are welcome to attend providing they are supervised by their parents.

Helen Barratt, Assistant Headteacher, said: “This event raised well into 4-figures for mental health charities last year and is very much led by our student leaders. Huge thanks again to Lichfield FC for staging the event and we are keen to see if Year 13 can salvage some pride having been defeated by Year 12s last year.”
