Lichfield House

Why are we called Lichfield?

Clement Lichfield became the last Abbot of Evesham Abbey in 1514. He was responsible for the final building works undertaken on the Abbey complex prior to its dissolution by Henry VIII, including the St Clements Chantry, off All Saints church. He also built a new school building in Merstow Green. The fact that the school was sited away from the main Abbey saved it when the majority of the complex was dismantled in 1540.

That school building (which continued in use as a school until 1879), together with the Bell Tower and Chantry Chapel (now known as the Lichfield Chapel) are the main significant surviving structures from Evesham Abbey which, at its peak, was the third largest Abbey Church in England.

Your House Ambassadors and House Leaders

Your Lichfield House Ambassadors and House Leaders have a really important role within the school community. They represent you and are your voice for all things Prince Henry’s. It’s important to speak to these representatives with any ideas, concerns or queries. They will then represent you at the termly House and Diversity Council meetings, where all Ambassadors and leaders assemble to discuss various important topics and share your voice.

House Leaders from Year 12 take on further responsibilities of supporting the Head of House with running clubs as well as helping organise and lead House events. This is a great way for Leaders taking part in Gold D of E to work towards their Leadership Award.

Sports Captains

Your Lichfield Sports Captains support Heads of Houses with organising teams for their year groups’ Inter-House sport competitions. You will see these Captains throughout the year during form time, building the House teams to collectively strive for success. If you have any queries around PE/Sport at Prince Henry’s, your Captains can share your views at the termly Sports Captain meetings with Mr Thompson (Head of Physical Education).
