Use of Salisbury Cathedral School Grounds

Salisbury Cathedral School is blessed to enjoy 27 acres of beautiful grounds right in the heart of the medieval city of Salisbury. We pride ourselves on sharing this good fortune by providing regular access to our campus to local schools, community groups and charities.

Our neighbour, Bishops Wordsworth school, uses the Astroturf pitches for hockey practise. And, Salisbury based South Wilts Cricket club trains its junior girls’ team on our grass cricket pitches. We also invite local primary schools to use Salisbury Cathedral School grounds for an annual open-air musical performed to an audience comprised of parents and friends from within their own school communities. During school holidays, a local charity representing vulnerable people often hosts private picnics within the safety of our grounds. Furthermore, we invite other local charities to approach us with ideas of how we can offer support to their endeavours.
