The guide is put together based on a rolling programme of school visits, conversations with heads, pupils and teachers, and comprehensive annual surveys.

Tatler says of CCCS:

"'It's not just elite for musicians, all abilities do well,' says one parent. Nonetheless, at this beautiful choir school established by Henry VIII, the melodically minded do excel. There are more individual music lessons each week than there are pupils, and it's the only school in the UK to boast three professional boys' choirs."

"There is plenty else on offer, too: theatre trips to Stratford-upon-Avon and visits to the museums in Oxford."

We would like to thank Tatler for including us in the Schools Guide: Christ Church Cathedral school is a lovely school and a friendly place to learn and work.
