1) Manners before knowledge. In Japanese schools, the students don’t take any exams until they reach the age of 10. They just take small tests. It is believed that the goal for the first 3 years of school is not to judge the child’s knowledge or learning, but to establish good manners and to develop their character. Children are taught to respect other people and to be gentle to animals and nature. They also learn how to be generous, compassionate, and empathetic. Besides this, pupils are taught qualities like grit, self-control, and justice. Our recent enrichment week at London focused on manners and etiquette, and the launch of our Ethical Leadership Programme clearly reflects these virtues here in Lichfield….

2) Most Japanese schools do not employ janitors or custodians. The students clean their school themselves. In Japanese schools, students have to clean the classrooms, cafeterias, and even toilets all by themselves. When cleaning, students are divided into small groups and assigned tasks that rotate throughout the year. The Japanese education system believes that requiring students to clean up after themselves teaches them to work in a team and help each other. Besides, spending their own time and effort sweeping, mopping, and wiping makes pupils respect their own work and the work of others. Clearly, respect for our learning environment is essential, and vibrant classroom displays and well-ordered classrooms all play their part.

3) After-school workshops are very popular in Japan. In order to get into a good junior high school, most Japanese students enter a preparatory school or attend private after-school workshops. The classes in these schools are held in the evenings. Seeing groups of small kids returning from their extracurricular courses late in the evening is common in Japan. Japanese students have an 8-hour school day, but apart from that, they study even during the holidays and on weekends. At the Cathedral School, we have long held dear the value of additional revision workshops in the holidays, in particular for our public examination pupils and the popularity and diversity of our extracurricular provision allow pupils to flourish holistically.
