Strategic Development Plan 2025-2027
Support. Celebrate. Connect.
The Choir Schools’ Association’s two-year strategic plan is entitled Support. Celebrate. Connect.
This plan reflects our deep commitment to sustaining and enriching the unique choral tradition that lies at the heart of our members. It sets out a clear, collaborative vision for how we will champion the wellbeing of our choristers, strengthen the communities that nurture them, and shine a brighter light on the remarkable work taking place within our choirs and schools. Over the next two years, we will focus on three guiding pillars:
Strategic theme 1: Support
We support our members in their provision of excellent education, opportunities and care for choristers, including bursaries for those attending member schools and general grants which enhance choristers’ experience.
Strategic theme 2: Celebrate
We celebrate the exceptional opportunity that becoming a chorister offers to children, acting as a reliable source of information for families, partner organisations, the media and government, advocating for the important role of choristers’ contribution to the UK choral tradition.
Strategic theme 3: Connect
We connect our members with each other to share best practice and build relationships with partner organisations and experts working in the fields of choral music and education.
Together, these three pillars represent the CSA’s dedication to ensuring that choir schools and choral music continue to flourish, inspire and lead. This strategy is not only a roadmap for progress; it is an affirmation of the values that unite us and the shared purpose that drives our work forward.
