Admissions

We welcome enquiries all the year round. If you are at all interested in finding out more, why not give us a ring? 

The ideal time for boys to start is in Year 4 when they are eight, but even if you have missed the boat, it is still worth contacting us since, for the right candidate, we can often make a space available.

The first point of contact is Mrs Neophytou in the Choir School office (email: ADMISSIONS or telephone: 020 7654 4918).  She will be happy to talk to interested parents and steer you in the right direction.

For those who decide that they would like to make an enquiry the steps are usually as follows:

• An informal brief audition with the Organist and Master of Choristers
  
  
• An invitation to attend a choral service at the Abbey sitting close to the choir so that boys can gain a feel for what it might be like to be a chorister
  
  
• A visit to the school involving a slightly longer audition, some simple academic tests and some time spent in class. See also What to expect on the Assessment day
  
  
• An opportunity for parents to visit the school, to meet the headmaster and discuss with him at some length whether or not this might be a suitable environment for their son
  
  
• The formal offer of a place

We very much take things a step at a time.  If you are at all interested in finding out more, why not ring Mrs Neophytou for a chat without any sort of commitment?  She will be pleased to hear from you.
