Westminster Cathedral Choir School is Independent Secondary school in Selective for kids aged 4 to 13 (Gender - 4 to 13 )
WCCS is an academically-selective, Catholic preparatory school for about 265 boys aged four to thirteen (Reception to Year 8), twenty of whom are boarding choristers, who join from Year 4.Academic work at WCCS is challenging and demanding, and lessons pacy. Boys are meticulously prepared for the top day schools in London and the top boarding schools at 13+.The modern ‘liberal arts’ education, from Years 3 to 8, is based upon the ‘three C’s’: curriculum, canon, and character.
Curriculum
The curriculum is structured so that boys experience knowledge as an integrated whole, rather than as discordant, competing specialisms. Boys learn through making connections, so topics are planned to complement other curriculum areas. A pupil in Year 5, for example, may be studying the age of exploration in history, sixteenth-century naval poems in English, navigation in maths, map skills in geography and making a medievalist map in art.Each year takes a historical period as its centre – ancient, medieval or modern – and this guides topic choices. Over the course of their time at the School, boys will go twice through the cycle of human civilisation, and so gain an appreciation of the achievements of the past, as well as the present.
Sports
The School is fortunate to have two large, secure, all-purpose playgrounds that boys from Reception to Year 8 use for imaginative play, football, nets practice and team tournaments of various kinds.The School also uses the Battersea Park, Vincent Square playing fields, and the Queen Mother Sports Centre in Pimlico.
Clubs
School clubs take place after School, Monday to Friday, during term times. They vary termly according to interest and enthusiasm.
Music
Music is both a curriculum subject and an extra-curricular activity at Westminster Cathedral Choir School. Choristers are taught both by the Master of Music (in charge of the Cathedral Choir) and by the School’s Head of Music (in charge of School orchestras, ensembles and the organisation of instrumental lessons).
