The Pilgrims' School is a 4–13 boys preparatory school and cathedral school in the cathedral city of Winchester, Hampshire, England.
The official date of establishment for the cathedral school is unknown but historical records indicate that choristers of Winchester Cathedral's renowned choir have been educated in the Close as early as the 7th century.[1] The current school was opened in 1931.[2] As it also educates choristers of the Winchester College Chapel Choir, the school maintains close links with the college.
