Our Choirs

The original purpose of the school at its foundation in 1546 by Henry VIII was to provide choristers for the building that is both chapel of Christ Church and Cathedral of the diocese. We are privileged and proud to maintain the tradition of educating the twenty or so Cathedral Choristers who sing there most days of the week during term time and up to Christmas Day and Easter Sunday.

In addition, the school also provides choristers to sing in the chapel of Worcester College during university term-time. Worcester Choristers are day boys who have a lighter singing commitment than the Cathedral Choristers, but who still uphold the high standards of traditional Anglican choral music.

Both sets of choristers make a great contribution to CCCS as singers and instrumentalists, but equally are to be found making their mark on the sporting and academic life of the school.
