The spring term is full of Easter preparations, spring optimism, new topics to explore and chilly weather — and Sparkyard has songs for all of these! With over 1000 songs to discover, it can be exciting (if a little overwhelming!) deciding where to start.

Hear from Antony Copus (our Head of Development, Education and Partnerships) with his views on the recent music subject report from Ofsted.

In my opinion, singing is as important within a classroom setting as pencils and rubbers. I am yet, after 20 years of teaching, to find any negative impact. It is achievable by all, regardless of ability of SEN and encourages a sense of self-belief.

Now the dust has settled, we can see that there is a lot to digest in the NPME, but whether you are an experienced musician, are soon taking on a music-lead role, or you just need a little more support, Sparkyard has everything you need.

You probably know about the many benefits that singing and music can bring to your school: from increasing wellbeing and self-efficacy to supporting curriculum learning. However, have you ever really considered the full benefits of whole-school singing? 

The autumn term is an exciting time for schools. There are new classes to meet, harvest assemblies to prepare, new topics to explore – and Sparkyard can help with all of those! Discover our most played songs this term.
