About The Pilgrims' School
Skip to content About us Home About us About us Pilgrims' is an absolutely fantastic school with the most incredible and dedicated teachers. My son is nurtured and encouraged, in all the right amounts. The staff really understand my son and genuinely really care.
As part of the Winchester College corporation, and in our close and historic relationship with the ministry of the Dean and Chapter of Winchester Cathedral, Pilgrims is a unique and leading boys prep school with a Christian ethos. The School itself was founded in 1931, however we build on an ancient foundation of centuries of education on this site. We aim to recruit boys who will best make use of what we offer, and who will contribute most towards it. Open to boys of any race and religious background, and with a happy blend of boarders and day boys, our aim is to foster the special character of each Pilgrim.
To do this, we aim to develop each boy's interests and meet his full potential whether academic, musical, sporting, artistic, dramatic, environmental, charitable using the wide and varied opportunities provided by a skilled and dedicated staff, by the excellent facilities to which we have access, and enriched by our ethos, history and setting.
