But our day boys are globe
trotters too!
Every year the School runs
a hugely popular skiing holiday to France and another excursion
by arrangement in the Easter holidays. In 2008/09 Westminster
Cathedral Choir School boys went to Iceland and the Sahara!
DRAMATIC
TALENT
The School puts on a major
dramatic production at the end of the Lent term, most recently
