Salisbury Cathedral School

Situated in one of the most spectacular locations in England, Salisbury Cathedral School is a thriving independent day and boarding school for around 225 girls and boys aged from 3 to 13. With the former Bishop’s Palace at its heart and in 27 acres of beautiful grounds within the Cathedral Close, the school has a special relationship with the Cathedral and educates the choristers who make up its two world famous choirs.

Music has always played a vital role in the Daily Offices, provided by sixteen boy choristers, six Lay Vicars, the Director of Music, the Assistant Director of Music and the Organ Scholar.

In 1991 Salisbury took the historic step of forming another ‘top line’, bringing girl choristers into the Choral Foundation and Choir School. Today the singing duties are divided equally between the two sets of choristers, usually singing with the men of the Choir.
