Bristol Cathedral Choir School

“The school motto, ‘Gathered together that all may thrive’, sits at the heart of the school’s moral purpose. The words ‘kindness, courage and hope’ underpin it. Leaders ensure that every pupil remembers to show ‘kindness’ and ‘courage’ in what they do. The school regards itself as a beacon of ‘hope’ for the diverse pupil population. Staff strive for every pupil to succeed. Leaders are diligent in making sure pupils are safe at the school. This is particularly important because of the school’s unique location in the cloisters of Bristol Cathedral and the high proportion of vulnerable pupils. Parents and pupils speak highly of how pupils feel safe despite this … High-quality music is a central feature in the school … Leaders have established an ambitious school curriculum from Year 7 to the sixth form ... Sixth-form provision is outstanding.”
