About Us

The Pilgrims’ School is one of the UK’s leading prep schools for boys aged 4–13. It recently merged with Winchester College, an independent senior school offering boarding for boys 13–18, and a co-educational Sixth Form for day pupils and boarders. From September 2025, this exciting development initiated the start of an enhanced collaboration between two institutions with distinctive identities and a shared educational philosophy rooted in curiosity, creativity, and academic excellence. Exciting work continues in identifying opportunities to enrich the experience of both pupils and staff.

Pilgrims’ is a unique double choir school located in a beautiful and historic ‘city meets country’ setting in Winchester. It is a vibrant, lively school where boys are encouraged to find their passions and nurture them, whether that be in the classroom, science lab, music room, art room, sports fields, at Forest School or beyond.

Nestled between Winchester Cathedral, Winchester College, and Wolvesey Palace, the School occupies a superb site in the historic Cathedral Close. We enjoy the use of the picturesque Wolvesey playing fields and a growing range of facilities at Winchester College. With our choral foundations, the School encourages musical achievement in all its pupils but also excels in academic endeavour, sport and the arts. We enjoy an enviable local and national reputation.

Benefits

  • Pension scheme (defined contribution)
  • Parking on site 
  • School lunch

Hours: 19 hours per week, term-time only plus INSET days (34 weeks a year).
