the pilgrims school
Welcome to The Pilgrims’ School, a boys-only day and boarding prep school, that
prepares boys for senior school with confidence. At Pilgrims', being a boys-only
school, we don’t need to worry about gender stereotypes and there are
opportunities abound: from physics to music, drama to rugby, knitting to
ecology, fives to chess and so much more. A Majestic Setting In the
awe-inspiring setting of ancient-listed buildings nestled between Winchester
Cathedral and Winchester College, you won’t find a ‘typical’ Pilgrims’ boy. In
small classes with teachers who are subject specialists, Pilgrims’ is a place of
outstanding personalised learning and teaching. We maximise the progress of
every boy across our broad curriculum, co-curriculum, and extra-curriculum.
Preparing boys for top senior schools Boys leave Pilgrims' for the country's top
senior boarding schools, including Winchester College, Eton College,
Charterhouse, Radley, Marlborough, Sherborne, and leading senior boarding and
day schools. On average, over a third of our of boys gain a scholarship or other
award to their senior school, including sports and many academic and music
scholarships and exhibitions. As a prep school, our job is to ensure that boys
are well-prepared so that they may thrive and be happy when they transition to
their chosen senior school. Senior schools are looking for academics and a love
of learning. And boys with a good character, who have the ability to contribute
to school life, whether that be in music, sport, art, debating, drama or chess,
to name but a few.
