In The Community

Involvement in the community is an important and much valued element of choir school and cathedral roles. This includes many excellent programmes promoting singing and instrumental playing. Two CSA member have been winners of TES Independent School Awards. Lichfield Cathedral School’s hugely successful Music Share programme won the Independent-State School Partnership Award. Norwich School was rewarded for its all-embracing community work to pick up the Whole-School Community Initiatives of the Year.

When government funding through the National Singing Programme (Sing Up) came to an end in 2011, most CSA members continued to run chorister programmes in their communities. This is in addition to a variety of other initiatives, supporting not only the creative arts, but a host of other subject based initiatives.
