Winner: ‘Best of the best Prep School for Music’
‘The Pilgrims’ School offers a rich and diverse musical curriculum, with 86% of pupils learning to play an instrument, many learning two.’
We are very happy to help coordinate travel for boarders at weekends, exeats, half-terms and ends of terms.
Winchester train station is within easy walking distance. We also have reliable local taxi companies where drivers are all DBS checked. Getting to London couldn’t be easier with London Waterloo under an hour away, and up to four direct trains an hour.
The Pilgrims’ Express, our escorted return train travel to London Waterloo, is a popular logistics solution for busy families at the start and end of each exeat and half-term. Staffed by our ever-present gaps, it’s a safe and fun way to make the journey.
It also gives boys a growing sense of independence while we keep a close eye on them. We are very happy to help with other escorted journeys at other times if we can – please ask for more details.
Southampton and Bournemouth are the nearest airports, 15 minutes and 40 minutes away respectively by car. Heathrow is usually less than an hour by car and is also served by National Express coaches from Winchester. Gatwick is only an hour and a half away. There is also a direct train from Winchester to Birmingham International Airport.
Pilgrims’ has two boarding houses, ‘Main School’ and ‘Q School’. Both enjoy the same friendly, bustling, family atmosphere.
At Pilgrims' we believe it is important that the boys also have free, unstructured time to read, relax and create their own entertainment, just as they would at home.
We have a number of travel and transport options for boarders and day pupils that make getting to school easier.
The Pilgrims' School, Winchester
Outstanding prep school in Winchester for boys aged 4-13, day and boarding.

Yesterday, we said goodbye to our incredible leavers. 💚
We are so incredibly proud of each and every one of them and everything they’ve achieved during their time here at Pilgrims’. It has been a privilege to watch them grow, learn and flourish, and we know they have bright futures ahead.
We’d like to wish all of our leavers and their families the very best as they embark on their next adventure.
But don’t worry… this isn’t the last you’ll see of them! 👀✨

🎨 Art and DT exhibition 🪚
Tonight saw the culmination of the work by our boys in Art and DT. With some truly staggering work on display the boys have showed amazing discipline, creativity and resilience which can certainly be seen in the final product.
A big thank you to our Art teacher, Ros Priddle and our DT teacher Any Herbert who have inspired the boys and curated tonight’s exhibition.
