Sparkyard

Out of the Ark believes that singing changes children's lives, and has a profound impact on learning and wellbeing. Sparkyard is a brand new subscription service from Out of the Ark, which gives primary school teachers nearly 1000 songs, and countless resources to allow those songs to be used in every part of a school's life: in curriculum lessons to support learning, in assemblies to develop community, in classrooms and playgrounds to enhance wellbeing, and much more. It also features an innovative, flexible, skills-based primary music curriculum designed to enable every primary teacher to feel confident teaching music - whatever their experience level.
