“A unique ‘double-choir’ school – in which almost every boy both sings and learns an instrument.”
Nurturing Every Boy to Fulfil His Potential
We suit boys who’ll make the most of the opportunities we offer, whilst also contributing to the school community. While founded on a Christian ethos, we welcome boys of all faiths and none and we aim to foster the character of every single Pilgrim.
Whether day or boarding, we nurture each boy’s interests and help him meet his full potential. We nurture academic, musical, sporting, artistic, dramatic, environmental, charitable and/or in some other field – using the wide and varied opportunities provided by our skilled and dedicated staff and excellent facilities, all enriched by our ethos, history and setting.

Developing Character, Confidence and Compassion
We encourage each boy:
- to use his mind well and to make wise judgements;
- to develop confidence tempered with humility;
- to appreciate beauty and to be creative;
- to value and develop his faith;
- to have a propensity for positivity and enthusiasm;
- to be able to appreciate and support the needs of others;
- to be able to discriminate between good and better, between right and wrong;
- to understand that with privilege (economic, educational and of access to resources) comes a responsibility both to be kind, and to collaborate with others to make a positive difference to the world he will inherit;
- to seek their fullest achievement on a quest for, and enjoyment of, a life-long pursuit of excellence.
“Pilgrims’ combines stunning musical experience with strong academic results, comprehensive and diverse sporting provision and a close community.”
“Bright, curious boys will thrive. The brotherly culture and impeccable manners gently instilled in the pupils will be especially reassuring for parents of boarders.”
