Chester Cathedral Choir School was a private preparatory school for boys under the direct supervision of the Dean of Chester Cathedral providing choristers for the choir. In its modern form, the school was opened by 1891 and closed at the end of summer term 1975. In 1973 the school's roll was 83 boys in 5 classes with the largest class of 22. A boys' school and choristers for the abbey existed pre-reformation which continued until 1851. A separate choir school was established for the first time in 1851. By 1880 choristers were admitted to the King's school and then in 1891 the school separated again until it closed in 1975.
