The Pilgrims’ School is an independent, day and boarding, Prep and Pre-Prep, for boys aged 4-13.
Blessed with a truly beautiful location, within the secure and secluded Cathedral Close, the school benefits from a wonderful sense of privacy. Visitors are often surprised by the size of the school site and the grass play areas and open vistas behind our front door. The school is nestled between Winchester Cathedral and Winchester College, and you can step through our back gate to enjoy the stunning countryside of the South Downs Way.
As part of the Winchester College corporation, and in close and historic relationship with the ministry of the Dean and Chapter of Winchester Cathedral, Pilgrims’ is a unique and leading boys’ prep school with a Christian ethos. The School itself was founded in 1931, however we build on an ancient foundation of centuries of education on this site. We aim to recruit boys who will best make use of what we offer, and who will contribute most towards it. Open to boys of any race and religious background, and with a happy blend of boarders and day boys, our aim is to foster the special character of each Pilgrim.
