In September, our 2025 Leavers started at their various senior schools. With a Winchester College Exhibitioner promoted to Roll over the summer holidays, Pilgrims' saw its greatest number of boys ever elected to Roll starting over at College.
Last year, I inaugurated a series of panel discussions which we have dubbed ‘Pilgrims’ Parley’. The discussions have proved an excellent opportunity to get senior figures from many of the South’s leading independent schools around the table to focus upon key issues in education and, particularly, the education of boys.
Winchester Cathedral was filled with people, music, and a renewed sense of community on 10 December as we hosted a very special Carol Service. For the first time, invitations were extended beyond the family and friends of boys currently at school.
How wonderful it is that the soundtrack to every day at Pilgrims’ is homemade. Our boys grow up making their own music. Music is a living, breathing, overwhelmingly vital part of our daily routine.
Old Pilgrims' swap Choristers' Cassocks for American Football pads and helmets. We asked ex-Director of Sport and Housemaster, Andrew Short to update us on his sons (OPs) and his new life in Saudi.
