In the heart of Winchester, a city voted 'Best Place to live in Hampshire' in Muddy Stilettos, The Pilgrims' School in the cathedral close, yet has acres of playing fields to boot. With the 'Pilgrims' Express' for boarders, a Sunday evening accompanied train service from Waterloo, we're looking to expand our transport offering from September 2024 from central and south-west London. 

The Pilgrims’ School, a truly special school family for boys aged 4 to 13, is centred around a quest for excellence in all its forms. We celebrate academic, musical, and sporting success and support boys on their journey to maximise their full potential.

"Staff are the most experienced, well-trained, hard-working and kind set of people that I have ever come across...[who] solely focus on providing our boys with world-class educational and inspiring experiences..."
- a 2023 Year 8 leaver's parent

Our Location

We are blessed with a truly idyllic location. Just an hour south of London by direct train, with easy access to all the major travel hubs, and yet we are surrounded by the stunning countryside of the South Downs National Park. The school is tucked away between Winchester Cathedral and Winchester College, within the secure and secluded Cathedral Close. Moments from our front door is the heart of the historic city of Winchester, or step through our back gate to find water meadows, countryside, and the South Downs Way.
