Music and Performing Arts at CJS is inclusive, vibrant, and purposeful. The vast majority of our pupils play one or more instruments and thrive on the growing musical opportunities that enhance and enrich our curriculum. Our programme of concerts and performance opportunities makes the most of our central location and access to the facilities of the City of London Corporation. Although a relatively new school, music is an integral part of school life, and our choirs, string orchestras, and various guitar, percussion, and wind ensembles celebrate our values of community and joy.

CJS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
