Music has been an important feature of Cathedral’s curriculum for many years and our school community has been privileged to be part of the National Schools Singing Programme, which works in Catholic dioceses across the United Kingdom, since August 2023.

Mr James Greechin, NSSP Choral Director for the Diocese of Motherwell, works with Cathedral’s Primary 4 pupils every Thursday morning. The weekly music lessons have a blend of interactive games, preparation of music for school and parish liturgies and the teaching of secular songs.

Mr Greechin also coaches and directs our school choir. Open to Primary 5 – 7 pupils, Cathedral school choir rehearses weekly during the school day and sings at various school, parish and diocesan liturgies and events. The photograph below shows the choir singing at a special Mass in Glasgow University Memorial Chapel on Friday 20th September 2024 to mark the 25th anniversary of the School of Education.
