Year 4 is the entry year for York Minster Choristers), most of our year groups are oversubscribed with limited places or are already operating a waiting list.

We very occasionally have spaces for entry midway through the academic year. Please contact the Admissions Team to discuss whether we might have space for a mid-year entry for your child and what other options might be available.
