The school currently caters for girls and boys aged 3–18, including the Choristers of Canterbury Cathedral.

[citation needed] In 1812, the school moved to St John's Wood at the nursery end of Lord's Cricket Ground.

The acquisition of property and financing to build the school was provided by Samuel Wilson Warneford.

The main building houses classrooms, boarding facilities, dining hall, library and administration offices.

The Francis Musgrave Performing Arts Centre comprises a purpose-built music school with recording studio, practice rooms and recital hall.

Choir House remains at a detached location beside the cathedral, and provided transport conveys the choirboys between the two sites.
