Welcome to the Westminster Cathedral Choir School website.

Westminster Cathedral Choir School is a leading Catholic preparatory school for 150 boys aged 8 to 13 (Years 4 to 8). We are located in the heart of London, just a short walk from the Houses of Parliament, and in the heart of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, at Westminster Cathedral, just off Victoria Street.

Home of a world-famous choir…
Westminster Cathedral Choir School is home to the thirty or so boarding choristers of the world-famous Westminster Cathedral Choir. Choristers come to us from all over the United Kingdom, and tour all over the world.

You can hear our fantastic choir every day, except Wednesdays, during term time, in Westminster Cathedral.

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday (Mass) 5.30 pm
Saturday (Mass) 10.30 am
Sunday (Mass) 10.30 am (Solemn Vespers and Benediction) 3.30 pm

…and over one hundred and twenty busy London day boys
Westminster Cathedral Choir School also contains one hundred and twenty busy day boys, aged 8 to 13 (Years 4 to 8), from all over London. Day boys join us from the central London pre-prep schools, and from primary schools all over the capital.

A school for boys who aim high
Westminster Cathedral Choir School sets high standards. In academic work, music, sport and extra-curricular life, boys are challenged, and expected not only to meet, but to surpass, their own expectations. Academic work is demanding, the standard of music for choristers and dayboys alike exceptionally high, the boys expected to extend their efforts in all they do, inside and outside the classroom.

Preparation for Britain’s leading public schools
Every year boys from Westminster Cathedral Choir School go on to leading public schools in London and beyond. Many achieve top academic and music scholarships. You can find out where our leavers have gone in the past few years by clicking here.

A Catholic School
But we are not just another frenetic London school. Boys at Westminster Cathedral Choir School grow up in the riches of the Catholic faith, where they learn to love and serve God and their neighbour.

I hope you’ll come and see us.
