Could your son be a Westminster Cathedral chorister?

At Westminster Cathedral, choristers are ordinary boys doing extraordinary things.

Every September, up to six boys join our Choir School in Year 4 (age 8 ) or Year 5 (age 9).

Becoming a chorister means singing in a world-class choir while attending a leading independent school, with significantly reduced fees.

Many choristers arrive with little formal musical experience — and that’s absolutely fine. What matters most is potential: bright, curious boys who bring enthusiasm, imagination, a sense of fun, and a love of singing.

For the right boy, choristership is truly life-changing. It nurtures confidence, teamwork, discipline, and a lifelong passion for music and learning.

Want to learn more? Join our next Chorister Zoom Information Session on Wednesday 29 April 2026 at 6.30pm.

Alternatively, contact Rachel Bonnet at 020 7798 908, or RBonnet@choirschool.com.
