Become a Chorister

Choristers (boys and girls) are admitted as Probationers to the Cathedral Choir from the age of 7. They may already have attended the Pre-prep department at St Paul’s Cathedral School, or come from another school.

To be admitted as a chorister, your child must pass the Cathedral Music Department’s Voice Trial and meet the school’s standard admission requirements. In addition to the process set out for Day Pupils by age above, suitability for boarding and for the rigorous chorister programme is also considered.

The educational element of choristers’ fees is paid by the Cathedral, and means-tested support is available to help with boarding fees, up to 100%. Choristers pay a deposit of £300 when they join.
