All material is ready to use. The children love all plays we have purchased so far as it is new to them, modern and not overused. The platform is useful because we do not have to print many sheets.
While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

About Out of the Ark Music
Written by the company
Home of the best-loved singing resources for primary schools.
For over 30 years Out of the Ark Music has been writing and releasing songs, nativities and musicals for primary school children. In 2021 we were proud to launch our subscription platform Sparkyard.
Good songs leave a lasting impression and contain huge potential to make a difference to our lives. The importance of music and the arts cannot be emphasised enough and, though often overlooked, they are a vital part of our children's education.
What began with only a tiny desk under the stairs, has grown over 30 years to become a thriving business, which now supplies over 18,000 primary schools and prep schools (not to mention nurseries, churches, theatre groups, etc!) across the UK and countless others around the world. With publishing offices and a warehouse in Middlesex, a recording studio in Sussex, 'Out Of The Ark' is reaching out to the corners of the earth with good, positive songs, that everyone will enjoy.
After 30 years and over 1,000 songs in the Out of the Ark Music catalogue, Mark and Helen are still enthusiastic about writing and are keen to develop the potential that music has in the context of education and beyond. They receive hundreds of wonderful emails and phone calls each year from those who have caught the vision and share the enthusiasm.

Out of the ark music has always been our first choice when considering our annual nativity play at nursery. The guidance, music and themes are always perfectly matched to suit our childrens ages and abilities. We are excited to add Makaton signing to our perfomance this year too.
Thank you.

EVERYTHING was so easy!
EVERYTHING was so easy!! I appreciate you all very much!! Everything was user friendly, there were very clear instructions from the licensing to the karaoke style of music. It will be so easy to teach my groups and I'm so excited to use your script and tools. I also appreciated the speed of shipping, it was international but shipped out immediately, the waiting period wasn't as long as some of the companies in the United States. The shipping updates gave me peace of mind as it came from the UK all the way to Wyoming. We will definitely be using your play material in the future.
