Our Music Partnerships Programme

Working with schools

If you work in a school, there are many ways you can partner with us through our Music Partnerships, and inspire children across London and beyond.

Through our music partnerships, we run singing workshops, children's choirs, holiday courses and special Cathedral visits. We also provide resources for teachers, including videos to lead singing assemblies.

Every child we work with is given the opportunity to perform at St Paul’s – a moment that creates life-long memories and builds their self-esteem. Through music, we aim to bring together diverse voices and backgrounds, helping to create stronger, more connected communities. 

We work with schools in and around the Diocese of London, and welcome interest from church and non-church state schools.

“Thanks to your work, my son has been changed for the rest of his life. He had been an extremely shy and under-confident boy owing to his struggles with dyslexia…You unlocked in him a life-long love of singing and he is enjoying every aspect of his life much more because of it.”
