Time Commitment

Life as a chorister is action-packed and incredibly rewarding but it does require a considerable commitment. The choristers sing at regular intervals through the school week before or after the school day, and around every other weekend. They will be busy during the run-up to Christmas and Easter, including services to a packed Cathedral on Christmas and Easter Days. Choristers spend their first year or so on a reduced timetable. What you ‘put in’ as a chorister family, you ‘get out’ – making a commitment like this is an investment in your child’s future and can be transformative for your child’s life. The summer holiday is uninterrupted, and the choristers have a clear week off at half terms, and around two weeks around Christmas and Easter.
