On Friday, Winchester College gathered in the Cathedral for their Carol Service, marking (nearly) the end of the Christmas Term, or Short Half. As a prelude, Corelli’s Christmas Concerto was played by the Chamber Orchestra, a classic that has accompanied Pilgrims’ Carol Services from time to time.

With Bonfire Night coming up next month, the boys were learning what makes fireworks the colours they are.
The formal admission to the Cathedral Choir is called 'Dubbing', and it is a very special occasion for our youngest Choristers.

On Thursday morning, the boys in Year 3 bounded into school with rucksacks and sleeping bags at the ready, in anticipation of their day in the great outdoors and, for many, a night outdoors as well.
We had a wonderfully sunny and engaging day at this exceptional palace.
We’ve had a fantastic start to the Summer Term here in Pre-Prep, getting straight back into the swing of things with lots of energy and enthusiasm from the boys. A very warm welcome to our new families who have joined us this term.

At Pilgrims’, sport shapes the rhythm of the school year. We’ve now completed both the Football Term and the Rugby Term, each filled with energy, teamwork, and standout performances, alongside a fantastic mix of other sports enjoyed throughout. Now, with spring in full swing, we turn our attention to the Cricket Term, as well as exciting summer sports like athletics, fly-fishing or sailing. But before we step onto the crease or into the boat, here’s a look back at an action-packed year of sport so far.
