ADMISSION AND FEES

DAY BOY ADMISSIONS TO WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL CHOIR SCHOOL

Day boys at 8+
Before admission, all boys must register with the School. The registration fee is £80.00.

For a Registration Form, please contact the School office.

Tel 020 7798 9081 Email admin@choirschool.com

Once a pupil is registered, he and his parents/guardians will be invited to a meeting with the Head Master, or one of his deputies, before academic assessments take place.

Boys normally join the School in Year 4, aged 8 years, after academic assessments in common papers assessing spatial IQ, non-verbal IQ, reading age, aural comprehension, mathematical ability, mathematical age, composition and comprehension.

The School does not issue specimen papers in advance.

The School offers about twenty five day boy places each year, so entry is competitive.

Academic assessments for entry into Year 4 in September 2008 are now complete, having taken place at Westminster Cathedral Choir School in January 2008.

If your son is looking for a place in Year 4 in September 2008, but has not yet been assessed, please contact the School office, so that he may be considered for our waiting list.

CHORISTER ADMISSIONS TO WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL CHOIR SCHOOL

Choristers at 8+
Boys normally join in Year 4, aged 8 years, and are known as ‘probs’, or probationers, for their first year. Admission follows informal and formal voice trials with the Master of Music at Westminster Cathedral and academic and pastoral assessments by the Head Master. The School offers about six probationer places each year, so entry is highly competitive. Please contact the Head Master’s secretary for details, in the first instance.

Due to the particular nature of the duties attached to Choristership at the only Roman Catholic Choir school in the United Kingdom, and in accordance with the School's designated status, all Probationers and Choristers must be baptised and practising Roman Catholics.

Become a Chorister for a Day!
On Saturday 2nd February 2008 we will be offering boys the chance to become a chorister for a day at Westminster Cathedral. Chorister for a Day offers boys and their families a chance to explore the full life of a Westminster Cathedral chorister, before making any formal application.

If your son is a Catholic, lively, cheerful, robust and musical boy, interested in exploring life as a chorister at Westminster Cathedral, why not bring him along?
