The NSSP has recently featured in a number of national broadcasts and publications, including BBC Radio 4’s Sunday and The Times.
“Thousands of school children from all backgrounds will soon have access to the expertise of cathedral choir leaders, thanks to the National Schools Singing Programme. The Programme was set up two years ago, working with Catholic schools. But now it’s expanded to include six Anglican cathedrals, which will allow it to reach more than 20,000 children every week.” – Sunday, BBC Radio 4
“Expert tuition in choral music is usually only the privilege of pupils at choir schools but the National Schools Singing Programme is extending this to thousands of children, particularly those from deprived areas.” – Cathedrals on song for state schools, The Times
“Disadvantaged pupils who take up choral singing discover its power to transform their lives” – Choirs can give children strength and purpose, The Times
“[The] NSSP is enabling those voices to be nurtured, trained, and developed by expert choral directors, empowering them to sing in well-run school choirs, and connecting them to their local cathedral choir.” – Six cathedrals to join programme that promotes singing opportunities at state schools, Church Times
