Offer of a Place
The Head will write to you letting you know how your child got on at the Taster Day and if all has gone well, the offer of a place will be made.

All places offered are subject to a satisfactory report from the child’s current school. At this point, the Registration Form (found inside our prospectus) should be returned along with our Registration fee which is £100. A non-returnable deposit of £300 is also payable before a pupil joins us. This is held as a credit against the final fee account.

Chorister Admissions
The Prebendal has been the choir school of Chichester Cathedral for hundreds of years. The Choristers live and learn at the School and sing almost daily in the Cathedral, maintaining the tradition of choral services for which English cathedrals are famous throughout the world.

Auditions for the Chichester Cathedral Choir may take place at any time, by appointment, if there are vacancies and children seeking a Chorister place also undertake general entrance assessments in Verbal Reasoning, English and Mathematics.
