Job overview

St George’s School, Windsor Castle, is an IAPS School situated in the heart of the vibrant, historic and cosmopolitan town of Windsor. With a unique link to Windsor Castle since 1348, we make the very most of our special location. 

The Chorister Chaperone will accompany the Choristers for their duties. This includes the daily rehearsals, weekly Evensong and Sunday services in Chapel. 

The Chaperone will play a key role in the wellbeing of the Choristers, and attend key meetings with the Houseparents (to whom the successful applicant will reports). Establishing a strong working relationship with the boarding and pastoral team, and Chapel Music Department, is key to the success of this role in supporting the Choristers. 

Working hours include mornings, late afternoons and early evenings, Sundays, Easter, Christmas and extra involvement with concerts, tours, and special services such as the annual Garter Day Service and the recent Royal Weddings and Christenings. Whilst much of this will take place during term time, Choristers are ‘on call’ to return back to Windsor should an important event or service warrant their involvement. 

Additional events through the year may be scheduled (including Wednesday afternoons and Saturdays), and it is very important that the Chorister Chaperone is on hand to support these, as and when required by the Houseparents and Director of Chapel Music. 

Benefits

This role is residential, and the successful applicant will be expected to a play a full life in the boarding community and wider school environment.

Alongside an exceptional reputation for musical excellence, including a 675-year history of educating the choristers of the world-famous St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, the school offers diverse opportunities across sport, performing arts, design and technology, both via the taught curriculum as well as through an exciting co-curricular programme offering more than 80 activities across the year, ranging from scuba diving to street dance, cookery and Eco Club.

The only school in Windsor to feature in the recently released Tatler Schools Guide 2024, St George’s is described by Muddy Stilettos as ideal “for progressive families who want a modern education fit for the future” and by The Good Schools Guide as somewhere “families who want a liberal, outward-looking education delivered by bright-eyed teachers in a small and nurturing urban haven may find their child’s happy ever after”.
