About Us

Cathedral Schools Trust (CST)

is a family of schools committed to inspiring learning both in and beyond the classroom. 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

This is an exciting opportunity to join a talented and highly committed operations team at the beginning of a period of significant change at the school - moving the school from delivering good educational provision to something that is genuinely world class. The role will start from 1st September 2025 and is based on term-time plus two weeks.

Schools are increasingly reliant on high quality data analysis - whether this be to identify learning trends, attendance patterns or to maximise government funding. The post holder will be crucial in providing organisational and administrative support in this pivotal role in our ambitious school.
