We provide boys and girls aged 3 to 18 with an excellent standard of teaching
and individual care, offering them a broad range of opportunities to develop
every aspect of their potential. The Hereford Cathedral School culture produces
well-balanced, confident and considerate young adults ready for the wider world.
Aims of Hereford Cathedral School
We hope that pupils will flourish and develop their potential in academic, spiritual,
aesthetic, physical and personal terms.
As part of an ancient Cathedral foundation, and as a Choir School, which has the
privilege of a Cathedral as its chapel, we are a Christian School in the Anglican
tradition, although we welcome and value those of other denominations and faiths.
Each pupil is encouraged to consider seriously and openly the Christian tradition within
which the School is founded.
The School seeks:
to meet pupils’ academic and personal needs and to promote the acquisition of
moral values;
to provide an environment in which pupils feel valued and learn to work co-
operatively in a community;
to provide a balanced, appropriate and challenging curriculum and a wide range
of extra-curricular opportunities;
to encourage pupils to achieve their academic potential and to foster a climate in
which teaching and learning of high quality are given central priority;
to ensure a high degree, within and outside the formal pastoral structure, of
personal care, support and guidance;
to respond to pupils’ aspirations and to be attentive to those of parents, and to
their views.
The School places great value on maintaining close, constructive communication with
parents and seeks to establish the education of each pupil as a joint endeavour. While
academic development of each pupil is a central objective of both the school and the
parent body, the School seeks, through example and ethos, to prepare its pupils for life
beyond school by developing certain qualities and values. These include: self-
discipline, diligence, acceptance of responsibility and challenge, regard for proper
authority, honesty, unselfishness, courtesy, fairness, trustworthiness, loyalty, and
sensitivity to the needs and views of others, courage, and the capacity to look to the
future.
The School aims to fulfil its charitable status through service to the local community by
support for Cathedral choristers, charitable fund-raising, the loan of buildings, and other
services to the community. Through competitive fee levels and the award of
choristerships, scholarships, and bursaries, the pupil body reflects a wide cross section
of the local population.

47HEREFORD CATHEDRAL SCHOOL – THE SCHOOL RULES
Pupils of Hereford Cathedral School are subject to all the following rules while they are
at School, including during the lunch hour, on their journeys to and from School, and on
visits and expeditions run under the aegis of the School, whether in the holidays or
term-time. Compliance with school rules and any amendments made from time to time
is a condition of pupils’ continued membership of the School. Pupils should be aware
that any action of theirs which has the capacity to harm the reputation of the School
may be regarded as an offence against school discipline, whether it is specifically
mentioned in these rules or not.
General Conduct
1) Pupils are expected to behave courteously at all times and to ensure that they do not give
offence to others, particularly members of the general public. Pupils travelling between home
and school should behave sensibly and with courtesy to each other, fellow passengers and to
bus drivers, rail staff and other transport staff. It is particularly important that pupils exercise
consideration for other users of the streets and of the paths across the Cathedral Close and
the route to Wyeside.
2) Pupils are expected to behave with dignity and manners: there should be no public
displays of affection or any other behaviour likely to cause embarrassment or offence.
3) Pupils are required to conform to the School’s dress code and wear full uniform smartly at
all times, unless a member of staff in connection with a particular activity has granted
exemption. Boys: Hair should be neat, well groomed, off the face, off the collar and of a
conventional style. Hair length should be evenly graded; a minimum length achieved by a
No. 3 cut is acceptable. Boys should be clean-shaven: no beard, moustache or stubble is
permitted. There should be no excessive dyeing of hair and colour alteration should be
discreet and natural-looking. Ties should be worn correctly and shirts are to remain tucked into
trousers at all times. Girls: Hair should be neat and tidy and kept off the face. There should be
no excessive dyeing of hair and colour alteration should be discreet and natural-looking. Girls
are permitted to wear matching stud earrings, which should be worn in the conventional
manner. No additional earrings or rings worn high on the ear are allowed. No other visible
jewellery should be worn by either sex. Pupils should consult the separate Uniform List for
details.
4) No bullying, physical, verbal or psychological, is acceptable. This includes sending
offensive messages by text, by e-mail or via chat lines.
5) Pupils selected to represent the School at Sports, or in any other capacity such as Music or
Drama, are expected to honour their commitments. A pupil wishing to be excused from such a
commitment must obtain permission in advance from the member of staff in charge of the
activity.
6) All pupils must attend school on all school days unless prevented by illness or other
unavoidable causes. If a pupil is unable to attend school, the parents are asked to contact the
School Office before 8.30am. For all planned absences, parents should make a request to the
appropriate member of staff (usually the Form Tutor or the Headmaster) via email or a letter
allowing plenty of notice where practical.
7) Attendance at Registration, Assemblies, Tutorial Periods, all timetabled lessons, games
and other timetabled commitments is mandatory.
8) Pupils are expected to be punctual; those who arrive late (i.e. after registration) for morning
or afternoon School must report to the School Office immediately upon arrival and sign the
late sheet. Pupils who fail to sign in when late in the morning will automatically receive a
Referral. Pupils who are repeatedly late for no valid reason will receive a letter home. Sixth
Form pupils must arrive at school for Registration and Chapel every day, even if their
academic lessons begin later in the day.
489) Early Departure: pupils may not leave the School early without parental agreement or the
authorisation of the School Nurse in the case of illness. In a genuine emergency informing the
School Office will be sufficient. Sixth Form pupils may only depart from school early if they
have no further academic lessons in the afternoon, and only after signing out.
10) Pupils are responsible for the care, tidiness and good decorative order of the school
buildings and grounds.
11) No litter may be dropped, either indoors or outside.
12) Chewing gum is not allowed in School.
13) Pupils should treat all property and furniture with respect and care.
14) Communication: every pupil should look at the TODAY board and the other notice boards
relevant to him/her every day, including the electronic screens.
15) The Headmaster may exclude any pupil from school or may require the permanent
removal of any pupil for a serious breach of School Rules, or for exercising harmful influence in
any way, or for consistently or repeatedly failing to respond with adequate effort and
application to the teaching provided at the school, including where this failure is to the
detriment of other members of the School, or for the accumulation of several Headmaster’s
Detentions, or for any other good or necessary reason.
Conduct in Class and Form Room
16) The Form Room and its tidiness are the responsibility of the whole form. Only members of
the form are allowed in their form room, except under the supervision of or by permission of a
member of staff.
17) Pupils should stand upon the entry of a member of staff, unless they are told not to do so.
18) Pupils are expected to wait quietly before lessons begin.
19) Pupils must give their teachers at least 24 hours' notice of missing a class for an
instrumental music lesson (this should be written in the pupil’s year planner). If pupils
anticipate missing lessons for any other reason, they must as a courtesy ask their teacher's
permission at least 24 hours in advance.
20) Whenever pupils have missed a lesson for any reason, they must arrange in their own
time to catch up the work (including homework) that they have missed.
Conduct in Chapel
21) The Cathedral must be respected as a place of worship at all times. No bags may be
brought into morning Chapel or left in the Cathedral porches.

Quay Street, the Cathedral Close, Church Street (as far as East Street). However, Year 7
pupils must remain in the area of the school buildings at all times. Pupils in the Years 7

24) Members of Year 11 and Sixth Form may go into town during the lunch break although
Years 7-11 are required to eat lunch in the Dining Hall. No pupils may visit any private
house at lunchtime with the exception of their own, and then only with written parental
permission notified to the Headmaster.
25) Years 8, 9 and 10 pupils must remain within the school bounds at all times during the
school day, unless a specific exception has been requested by parents or permission has been
granted by a member of staff.
4926) The purchase and consumption of food at lunchtime should be carefully considered in
terms of maintaining good health as well as concentration during afternoon lessons.
27) Members of Year 13 whose work and effort are judged to be good by the Head of Sixth
Form may (i) leave the premises during study periods; and (ii) go home after the official end of
morning school provided that they have no afternoon lessons or other commitments and that
they have signed out in the Zimmerman Building.
28) N.B. DURING BREAK THE TOWN IS OUT OF BOUNDS TO ALL PUPILS.
Pupils must remain in the area of the School buildings.
29) Pupils may not take a short cut through the Chapter House Gardens or The Cathedral
itself on their way to and from King Street/Gwynne Street.
30) When crossing the Cathedral Close, pupils must keep to the paths at all times, but not
block the way for other pedestrians. The rules displayed by the Dean and Chapter must be
observed, in particular the rule prohibiting games. Pupils should not sit on the grass of the
Cathedral Close either during school hours or after school hours (until 6.30pm) regardless of
whether they are wearing school uniform.

35) No pupil may go down to, or return from, Wyeside on his/her own. Pupils in Years 7-9
will be escorted by a member of staff. Pupils in Years 10 and above should travel to and
from Wyeside in small groups of at least three. Large groups that are likely to cause an
obstruction should be avoided. The same rule applies when leaving Wyeside and coming back
into town: pupils should not travel on their own. Pupils who have permission to wear games kit
on their way to Wyeside must wear a tracksuit.
36) These rules about travelling in groups and about using the subway at Greyfriars Bridge
also apply to pupils going down to the Hereford Rowing Club Boathouse in Greyfriars Avenue.

providing the transport.

the subways under the Ring Road. It is the responsibility of cyclists to see that their bicycles
are in good order and they should lock their bicycles when they leave them on School property.
The School cannot take responsibility for their safety or insurance. Cyclists are required to
wear reflective bands and suitable helmets. Cycles must not be ridden within the school
grounds (including the Cathedral Close) and must be securely padlocked in the bicycle sheds.
