Exeter School is a co-educational day school for pupils aged 3 to 18.
From September 2026, Exeter School is the new educational and musical home for the chorister body, while musical training and commitments continue to be led by the Cathedral, with the same care, expertise and pastoral support choristers are used to.
Our Choristers
There are up to 18 male Choristers and up to 18 female Choristers in Exeter Cathedral Choir, including a small number of Probationers (learner Choristers). Overall 38 boys and girls (usually from Years 3 to 8) make up the Cathedral Choristers. They enjoy the most remarkable, fulfilling and rewarding musical training, alongside a broad and balanced all-round education at Exeter School.
Each week, during term time, they sing around 8 services alongside the adults of the Choir (Lay Vicars and Choral Scholars).
A typical day for the Choristers includes:
- Before school: rehearsals at the Exeter School Music School, with morning drop off by parents
- During the school day: full access to the curriculum, lessons and wider school life
- After school: rehearsals and services at Exeter Cathedral, with parental collection from the Cathedral at the end of the day
- Weekends and holidays: services and rehearsals held at the Cathedral
Each Chorister receives one weekly private music lesson (Voice or instrument), funded by the Cathedral. Musical direction continues under Timothy Noon, Director of Music at Exeter Cathedral, working in close collaboration with Exeter School’s music department.
Pastoral support for the Choristers is led by Mr Jonny Titchin, pictured above. Mr Titchin is the Head of Junior School Music at Exeter School. His role will ensure:
- High quality pastoral support and safegaurding oversight
- Day-to-day support for Choristers and families
- Close collaboration with the Cathedral and Exeter School
