Overview

About Salisbury Cathedral School

Salisbury Cathedral School is a day & boarding preparatory school in Wiltshire for boys & girls aged 2 to 13. The school highlights a warm, family community atmosphere, dedicated staff, specialist teaching, and a strong sense of community and pastoral care.

Our take

Independent co-ed all-through school for ages 2–13, day or boarding.

Best for
  • Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 2–13) rather than separate prep + senior.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
  • Families weighing day vs boarding — both are offered.
Watch-outs
  • Fees aren't published. Treat published external fee comparisons with caution and ask admissions directly before shortlisting.
  • SEND provision isn't documented in our profile. If your child has an EHCP or specific learning needs, ask admissions about case-by-case capacity before applying.
  • Location detail is sparse in our profile — verify postcode and tube/rail link before counting on commute time.
