What people love about Sparkyard
Excellent choice of songs for whole school, all ages. Because it’s accessible instantly, I can have the classes singing within moments between non-music activities. Just brilliant! Worth the wait!
Emma Worthy, Music Teacher
Sparkyard is a great resource for non-music specialists as the music curriculum is all planned and ready for you to deliver. Every child is able to access the music curriculum through Sparkyard. Children love the songs and the practical activities taught through the lessons for each year group.
Year 2 Teacher and Music Co-ordinator, All Saints CE Primary School
Upbeat, motivating songs that the children really enjoy. The backing tracks and words on screen are really helpful. The curriculum resource is also helpful. I think it has motivated children who don't enjoy singing and made them realise how fun it can be.
Susan Gorham, St Mark's Primary School
The wide selection of songs is a great resource throughout a school with a wide age range. It’s easy to access and the words on a whiteboard are invaluable for both pupils and teachers. I like the variety of styles in the tracks and to be able to use a backing track as well is very useful. All in all an invaluable resource!
Suddenly asked for an appropriate song for EYFS Mental Health Week Assembly, I was able to find a suitable song quickly. The young children were not able to read the words, but the staff obviously could, so they were able to sing along and encourage the children.
Helen Rathbone, Music Co-ordinator
Having a main hub where we can access songs for all sorts of occasions is so helpful. I can link in with each year group's topics easily and once I've taught the song the class teacher can also access it for rehearsals/class assemblies etc.
We use Sparkyard extensively throughout foundation stage. It re-enforces whole class topics/learning. It has brought back the love of singing after covid to all year groups. With resources being so easily accessible, words displayed on the screen, being able to search for songs using key words etc, it all makes life so much easier.
Lisa Wilson, Specialist Music Teacher
Sparkyard gives easy access to a wide variety of songs to use across the curriculum that engage children and adults and help us learn and remember. Having access to such a vast resource has been really useful for our collective worship as it has broadened our repertoire and helped support children's enthusiasm for singing together. Discovering the Maths collection of songs has helped to bring Rapid Recall and vocabulary to life in lessons.
Using Sparkyard makes planning to use music across the curriculum and collective worship much less stressful as everything is right there at your fingertips. Using Sparkyard makes access to music in the classroom much easier and gives more opportunity for some spontaneous bursts of singing.
Mrs Ludlow, Teacher
My aim is to have a 'singing classroom' and Sparkyard is an ideal tool for supporting this - the knock-on effects for Wellbeing and Literacy/Speech and Language Development are well-documented.
Myra Harris, Teacher
I have been a ‘user’ of Out of the Ark songs for many years and have purchased pretty much the entire library over the years. It is nice to have ALL songs in one place digitally and at my fingertips. It is beneficial now to have supporting resources for the music curriculum in the same place also.
Bob Bailey, Head of Prep Music
It is so good to have everything together and the player is brilliant. I like being able to make playlists in particular, it has helped for assembly planning.
