As a young boy he entered King's School in Peterborough and sang in the choir twice daily, eventually becoming head chorister, the school itself being associated with Peterborough Cathedral and having officially changed its name in 2011 to The King's (The Cathedral) School from King's School, Peterborough.
Thereafter Eric Scott attended Saint John's College at nearby Cambridge University as a choral scholar.
