Encouraging All To Achieve

Choristers

If your son or daughter is accepted as a Chorister he or she will join The Chorister School as a boarder and will spend their first year here as a Probationer. They will attend morning practices but will not sing in the Services and may go home every weekend.

Choristers may go out with their parents on Thursdays after school and at weekends as long as they are back 30 minutes before any practice or Service.

Over the Christmas period Probationers go home. Choristers go to the pantomime and to lots of parties; on Christmas Eve there is a family party at school - Father Christmas fills their stockings and they go home on Christmas Day with their parents after Evensong.
