On the Twelfth Day of Christmas, My School Gave to Me, Twelve Stars Shining!✨
As we reach the final day of our 12 Days of Christmas, we hope you have enjoyed our celebration of the incredible breadth of opportunities here at Salisbury Cathedral School. Each day has highlighted a different part of school life, the moments, talents and experiences that help every one of our pupils discover what they love and where they shine.
As we break up for the Christmas holidays after today’s Carol Service, we would like to wish all our families and friends a very Happy Christmas.
If you would like to find out more about life at SCS, we would be delighted to welcome you to our next Open Morning on Friday 6th February 2026 at 10am.

Friends Christmas Present Room
A magical day in the Friends Present Room.
Our children loved choosing thoughtful gifts for their families, all donated by our community and wrapped with care by volunteers.
It is a treasured tradition that gives pupils the joy of surprising the people they love.
A huge thank you to the Friends of SCS for making this wonderful experience possible. We are so grateful for all you do.

On the Eleventh Day of Christmas, My School Gave to Me, Eleven Jazbytes Piping!
Celebrating Jazbytes, led by the incredible Dave Andrews, who has inspired so many of our children to take up jazz instruments!
At Salisbury Cathedral School, music is at the heart of school life. Nearly all our pupils play an instrument, and we have 17 ensembles, including five choirs, giving every child the chance to perform, explore, and shine.
From specialist music lessons in Nursery onwards, through Year 3 Music Circus, where pupils rotate through strings, woodwind, and brass to find their perfect instrument, to our choristers and ensembles, we nurture musical talent from the very start and we are proud to have a full Orchestra.
We are especially proud that so many of our pupils go on to leading public schools across the country with music scholarships, and to top conservatoires, taking their passion for music to the next level.

Our Pre-Prep children melted our hearts before the Nativity even began!
We asked them to tell us which part they were playing in Knock Knock at the Nativity, and their answers were as adorable as you’d expect.
Keep an eye out for our upcoming reel from the actual performance!

On the Tenth Day of Christmas, my School gave to me, Ten Scholars Leaping
At Salisbury Cathedral School, our Sports Scholarship Programme nurtures exceptional young athletes who excel in sport while developing key life skills such as resilience, teamwork and leadership. Our scholars benefit from tailored training, strength and conditioning sessions, sports science workshops and dedicated mentorship, ensuring they reach their full potential on and off the field.
We champion a multi-sport approach, giving scholars the opportunity to explore a range of disciplines, from rugby, football and hockey to athletics and swimming. This builds versatility, confidence and a lifelong love of sport.
Through weekly training, competitive fixtures and access to expert coaching, our scholars thrive in a supportive and challenging environment. The programme also prepares them for senior school applications, enabling them to stand out with exceptional achievements both academically and athletically.
Our Sports Scholars inspire all pupils at SCS, demonstrating that with dedication and passion, excellence in sport and personal growth go hand in hand.

On the Ninth Day of Christmas My School Gave to Me, Nine Boarders Dancing
Our boarders have been spinning, laughing and dancing their way into Christmas, around the piano, down the corridors and even in their dorms. Today’s festive Reel celebrates exactly what makes boarding at SCS so special, a true home from home.
Recently, boarding consultant Claire Calder, who advises families and schools across the UK on finding the right educational fit, visited us. She said it all: “Exceptionally strong pastoral care, thoughtful, proactive and truly individual. Boarding that feels like joining a big family, with warm dorms, flexible options and plenty of weekend fun.”
And that is exactly what our House Parents, Jack and Katie, work so hard to create every day. In their own words: “We tell parents quite simply that we are a big family. All the comforts of a warm, happy home are brought into boarding life, so the children feel settled, confident and able to flourish. There is always someone to talk to, always space to be themselves and always plenty of fun.”
From birthday cakes and fancy dress nights to weekend adventures, baking, games and relaxed downtime together, boarding at Salisbury Cathedral School is full of friendship, warmth and belonging.
We offer full boarding, weekly boarding and flexi boarding, understanding that busy working parents need complete flexibility. Our boarding community includes forces families, choristers, overseas pupils and local children, all making the most of our exceptional boarding offering.

On the Eighth Day of Christmas, my School gave to me… Eight Children Baking.
Our Reception children became little Christmas bakers as they made their own festive gingerbread men. The classroom was filled with excitement and wonderful seasonal smells as the children grated cinnamon, cracked eggs, mixed the dough, and carefully shaped their gingerbread characters. We loved hearing them proudly narrate their actions: “I am grating the cinnamon” and “I am cracking the egg.”
Baking in Reception is more than a delicious treat and offers rich learning opportunities.
Early maths skills develop as the children measure, count and compare ingredients.
Language skills grow through new vocabulary and describing what they are doing.
Fine motor skills strengthen as they roll, press and decorate with increasing control.
Problem solving is encouraged by following steps and noticing changes in the mixture.
Personal, social and emotional development flourishes as they share tasks, take turns and feel proud of their achievements.
Sensory exploration is enriched through discovering new textures, smells and tastes.
Most importantly, the children experience the joy of creating something from start to finish and celebrating together afterwards. That is the magic of Christmas learning at Salisbury Cathedral School.

What an unforgettable day at Salisbury Cathedral School!
Yesterday we welcomed the incredible @annalapwoodorgan to meet our two Pipe Organ Scholars, Emma and Oscar, ahead of her festive concert in Salisbury Cathedral.
Anna listened to them play on our beautiful Peter Collins organ, offering thoughtful tips to help them develop their technique, and she shared some truly inspiring life advice too.
“Keep your options open. Don’t ever feel you have to choose too soon. Keep doing what makes you happy.”
Anna explained that if she had ever “made a choice”, she wouldn’t be where she is today as a hugely successful concert organist.
As a perfect finale to the most amazing day, Anna dedicated the opening piece of her concert to Emma and Oscar, a moment they will never forget. It’s fair to say our scholars were absolutely thrilled and deeply inspired!
Salisbury Cathedral School is proud to be the only preparatory school in the UK offering Pipe Organ Scholarships. We recruit one scholar each year, and the next opening is September 2026.
If you or your child is currently in Year 6, plays the piano, and is curious about the world of the pipe organ, follow the link in our bio to find out more.
