 ’ School was founded in the City of London in 1561 by the Worshipful Com
 pany of Merchant Taylors’\, one of the ancient City Livery Companies or 
 Guilds. In 1933 the school moved to Northwood on the north-west edge of Lo
 ndon where it flourishes today with 950 boys aged 11 to 18.  It retains it
 s ancient links with the City of London where we perform regularly in St P
 aul’s Cathedral and at the Merchant Taylors’ Hall. The first Head Mast
 er of the school\, Richard Mulcaster\, included ‘singing\, and playing a
 n instrument’ in his curriculum for the boys\, and Merchant Taylors’ b
 oys provided dramatic entertainments for Queen Elizabeth I. Amongst Mulcas
 ter’s early pupils was the poet\, Edmund Spenser. The school has also pr
 oduced several notable musical alumni\, including the conductor Bryan Balk
 will\, the organist Percy Buck\, and the composer Bob Chilcott.\n\nThe sch
 ool has an active music department\, with six full-time staff and twenty-t
 wo visiting music teachers. Each week nearly 300 individual music lessons 
 take place\, alongside rehearsals for numerous orchestras\, bands\, and ch
 oirs. The annual programme of events includes several large-scale concerts
  as well as competitions and informal concerts.
