The Prebendal School, Chichester

Fantasia Music School is held at The Predendal School in the centre of the historic cathedral city of Chichester in West Sussex, England.

The Prebendal is the oldest school in Sussex and probably dates back to the foundation of Chichester Cathedral itself in the 11th century. It was re-founded in 1497 by Bishop Edward Storey who attached it to the Prebend of Highleigh in Chichester Cathedral and thus gave its present name. It was one of the first schools to become co-educational in the 1970s.

The charming 13th century school house with its historic narrow tower still stands in West Street. Long Dormitory, on the top floor contains 300 year old panelling and three adjoining 18th century houses have been added. Over the years the School has added further extensions and also uses the East Wing of the Bishop’s Palace which is next door to the main school buildings.

Do visit The Prebendal’s own website which has much more information about the school.
