Westminster Abbey Choir School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Westminster Abbey Choir School (WACS) is a small British prep school and is the only school in the United Kingdom exclusively for the education of boy choristers. It is located in Dean's Yard, on the grounds of Westminster Abbey. It educates around 38 boys aged 7-13, all of whom must board. Its term dates differ from other schools, as the Abbey Choir is needed for the major church festivals; for example the boys are required to sing at Easter, and at Christmas, until 28th December.
The Choristers sing services of State importance.
The Headmaster is Jonathan Milton, former Headmaster of Tewkesbury Abbey School.
The school's governors currently include Mr Anthony Little, headmaster of Eton College.
