Chester Cathedral Choir School was an private preparatory school for boys under the direct supervision of the Dean of Chester Cathedral providing choristers for the choir. In its modern form, the school was opened on the 26th November 1880 and closed at the end of summer term 1975. In 1973 the school's roll was 83 boys in 5 classes with the largest class of 22.

History

Ancient arrangements pre-reformation to 1541. Continued until the Endowed Schools act 1853. when they separated Kings and Choir School (latter under Mr Cuzner), until at least 1880. Sometime 1881-1883 tuition back at the King's school until 1893 when the school separates again.

Boy choristers had been a feature of the pre-reformation church in England from at least the 7th Century and there is evidence that there was a school and boy choristers at the Benedictine Abbey of St. Werburgh, Chester before the English Reformation.

At the time of the English Reformation and the Dissolution of the monasteries, the Abbey of St. Werburgh was closed and a new cathedral was established in the same buildingsThe history chester cathedral article. The legal statutesset out the roles and responsibilities of the Dean, Canons, and others associated with the cathedral. The statutes created a grammar school at Chester Cathedral (for the teaching of latin grammar, and other subjects "for 24 poor and friendless boys"). The statutes also established 8 choristers and their choir master. The cathedral would be responsible for the education and subsistence of both scholars and choristers and until the mid nineteenth century the choristers received some general education in the grammar school. However whilst the statutes referred to the possibility of boys being in the choir and in the grammar school, this was not the always the case, the statutes did not demand any other education for choristers other than in singing and divine services.

By the mid eigtheenth century, the grammar school started to be called the King's Cathedral Grammar School, or King's School. However in common with many schools funded by private endowment, schooling at the cathedral was suffering poor financial support, inefficiencies and accusations of maladministration

By 1857 the schools were operating separately:.

In response to problems in the endowed schools sector, the Endowed Schools Act 1869 removed some requirements for endowed grammar schools to have teachers licensed by the Church of England. However, consistent with the ancient practice of the King's School providing choristers for the cathedral, the Dean of Chester remained responsible for an endowment to the King's School. Following the King's School reorganisation under this act in 1873, in 1880, the new Chester Cathedral Choir School was established under the direct control of the Cathedral Dean and Chapter

The Cathedral Choir School was established (or "re-opened" as styled at the time), in 1880 following a period of significant improvements to both the fabric of the cathedral, and the quality of the music. Deans Anson and Howson oversaw the installation of the cathedral organ in 1875, rebuilding of the western part of Abbey Court (as it was known), and replacement of the old Bishop's Palace. At that time, the King's School moved into the new buildings from their ancient home in the original monks refectory, and the choir school was established in a small corner of the same new buildings.
