  • REACHING out a Celebration of the Work of the Choir Schools’ Association
    REACHING OUT A celebration of the work of the Choir Schools’ Association The Choir Schools’ Association represents 46 schools attached to cathedrals, churches and college chapels educating some 25,000 children. A further 13 cathedral foundations, who draw their choristers from local schools, hold associate membership. In total CSA members look after nearly 1700 boy and girl choristers. Some schools cater for children up to 13. Others are junior schools attached to senior schools through to 18. Many are Church of England but the Roman Catholic, Scottish and Welsh churches are all represented. Most choir schools are independent but five of the country’s finest maintained schools are CSA members. Being a chorister is a huge commitment for children and parents alike. In exchange for their singing they receive an excellent musical training and first-class academic and all-round education. They acquire self- discipline and a passion for music which stay with them for the rest of their lives.

The Rt Revd Stephen Conway is the Area, or Suffragan, Bishop of Ramsbury, in the Diocese of Salisbury, which he is currently ‘minding’ as there is also an ‘episcopal interregnum’ in that diocese. Bishop Stephen was trained at Westcott House here in Cambridge, and until he became Bishop of Ramsbury in 2006 served all his ministry in the Diocese of Durham, in two curacies, then as a Parish Priest, as Director of Ordinands and Bishop’s Chaplain, and finally as an Archdeacon.

One hundred years ago, the then headmaster of St Paul’s Cathedral Choir School, Reverend R H Couchman, joined his colleagues from King’s College School, Cambridge and Westminster Abbey Choir School to consider the sustainability of choir schools in the light of rigorous inspections of independent schools and regulations governing the employment of children being introduced under the terms of the Fisher Education Act. Although cathedral choristers were quickly exempted from the new employment legislation, the meeting led to the formation of the CSA, and Couchman was its honorary secretary until his retirement in 1937. He, more than anyone, ensured that it developed strongly, wrote Alan Mould, former headmaster of St John’s College School, Cambridge, in The English

  • The-History-Of-The-Minster-School PDF File Download
    The History of the Minster School I. Introduction The present Southwell Minster School came into being in September 1976 as an 11-18, co- educational comprehensive. One of its "ancestors" was a grammar school, established in the Middle Ages. No precise date can be given to the grammar school's foundation. It was always a small school - on a number of occasions in danger of ceasing to exist. It did not develop a reputation for producing pupils who became household names, nor did it set any trends in education. Yet, through descent from the Grammar School, the Minster School is part of a line of development which may go back further than that represented by any other English school now outside the private sector. And, precisely because the Grammar School, and the other ancestors of the modern comprehensive, were not too much out of the ordinary, their story is the more important. II. The Grammar School 1. The Origins of the Grammar School The earliest schools were linked to a monastery, cathedral or other large church, such as the Minster at Southwell. Such "grammar" schools were at first very small - made up of perhaps less than twenty boys. Pupils probably started to attend between the ages of nine and twelve. Southwell's grammar school may have been created at the same time as its Minster - to provide education for Minster choristers. The Minster is thought to have been founded soon after the Saxon King Edwy gave lands in Southwell to Oscetel, Archbishop of York, in a charter dating from between 955 and 959.

An Anglo-Saxon saint Eadburh is said to have been venerated here, giving rise to debate about the antiquity of the minster itself. By the eleventh century Southwell minster along with the ancient minsters of Beverley and Ripon were three major collegiate churches held by the archbishop of York. This may explain why, when Nottinghamshire became a shire, it was included in the diocese of York. The archbishops acquired other lands in the county over time, and these were in some cases used to build up prebends for the canons of Southwell, as we see from the documents printed here. Southwell minster came to represent the cathedral to the men of Nottinghamshire, and in the time of Archbishop Thomas II they were allowed by the archbishop to make their processions (a custom at Whitsuntide) to the church of Southwell instead of to York (Burton, EEA 5 York, 1070–1154, 22–3, no.

John Cooper retired at our last AGM and will be greatly missed. I have in front of me the August 1972 edition of the Journal and under Members’ news it states “we should like to welcome as a member John Cooper who has recently been appointed Organist at St. Mary-le-Tower Church. Mr. Cooper was formerly organist of Holy Trinity Leamington Spa”. We are very glad John moved to Ipswich as his contribution to local musical culture is huge. 2011 promises to be very interesting, not least because of the opportunities provided by our new and beautiful Cathedral organ at St. Edmundsbury. A programme of exciting recitals and concerts has been devised which includes a special event being sponsored by the Suffolk 0rganists’ Association: David Briggs accompanying a showing of the film Phantom of the Opera on Saturday, 12th November. I hope very much to see you all there. The Association is keen to engage young people to learn to play the organ, so we shall be holding an event at Ipswich Corn Exchange on 4th July, specifically aimed at primary schools.
