‘Warm’, ‘caring’, ‘happy’ – these are the three most popular words used by parents to describe Salisbury Cathedral School. Our unique setting, adjacent to one of England’s finest cathedrals, helps to cultivate a strong spiritual awareness and Christian values underpin everything that we do.
Our wonderful 21st century school is based in the 800 year old Bishops Palace within Salisbury Cathedral's grounds.
We believe a child’s self-esteem is vital to their success. At SCS, we foster an unpressured environment where pupils are encouraged and congratulated every step of the way, celebrating their achievements and promoting a strong sense of self-worth. Our focus on the individual child means that all staff play a role in discovering strengths and areas that need guidance and support.
This approach works. Our academic results are impressive and consistently out-perform competing schools but, more than this, the children who leave us are confident, self-assured, well-rounded and comfortable in their own skins.
Facilities include: over 20 acres of beautiful grounds, an all-weather sports pitch, swimming pool, outstanding music facilities, a variety of performance spaces, specialist science laboratory, art, design technology and computer suites and extensive playground facilities.
Talented sports staff coach all the major team sports and every child plays in regular fixtures.
There are many after-school clubs open to all children in the Preparatory School. (Quality wrap-around school care is available for children in the Pre-Prep). The boarding house staff operate an “open door” policy to parents, organise many outings and activities and have achieved an enviable reputation for running a truly happy and caring boarding house.
For more information and/or to arrange a visit to the school, please telephone Jojo Orange, Registrar on 01722 555300 or visit our website.
