With a strong focus on music and the creative arts, we support every student and staff member in reaching their full potential. If you're looking for a Trust that values creativity, growth, and meaningful learning, CST could be the perfect place for you.

We invite you to join our team at Bristol Cathedral Choir School. We exist to provide a world-class education for the children of Bristol – so that they leave with a deep understanding of the world around them. The school is a highly oversubscribed state cathedral choir school with a rich history and a Christian ethos. It is a music school, educating choristers for Bristol Cathedral for the past 880 years and offers an enhanced and rich musical experience for all. The school provides a traditional academic curriculum to its students, regardless of their background or ability, and emphasises the teaching of 'Powerful Knowledge'.

The Opportunity
