I have been using Language Angels for about 6 years now. As a non-specialist language teacher, it is absolutely brilliant. My Spanish has improved greatly, and I am now much more confident in delivering the lessons to the students. Everything you need for the lesson is there for you, the plan, PowerPoint, activities, which are differentiated, songs and assessment opportunities. The children enjoy it and enjoy learning the songs with each lesson or topic. In our recent Ofsted inspection, the inspector liked how it allowed all the children to listen and speak in Spanish, learning basic words and phrases, and how it progressed to long, more complex sentences as they developed their understanding. I would highly recommend Language Angels to anyone who is looking to develop languages within their school.

Teachers

Spelling Shed is made by teachers, for teachers and was developed in the founder's classroom. We have built a suite of tools to enable teachers and schools to manage pupils' data, including reporting on assessments. Spelling Shed tracks student game plays along with their responses. Teachers can monitor weekly activity in order to advance or remediate as needed.

Our platform enables learning to happen anywhere and everywhere giving educators the peace of mind that pupils can learn and get practice unhindered.

Our administration tools also allow groups of schools to manage school data centrally.

Out of the Ark Music

For 30 years, teachers have been coming to Out of the Ark Music to find resources that they know will be educationally relevant, easy to use and perfectly suited to primary school children. We've built our reputation on providing the very best singing resources and songbooks for schools that teachers love to teach and children love to sing! We started with a nativity ( Off To Bethlehem) and an assembly songbook ( Songs for EVERY Season) but now have over 160 titles for our customers to enjoy and be inspired by, and have expanded our songbooks to support key curriculum topics suitable for EYFS, KS1 / P1-3 and KS2 / P4-7. Songs will always be at the heart of what we do, and we believe that a song can be a springboard to other learning, whether that is musical or in other curriculum areas, and firmly believe that our curriculum-linked resources can support learning in the classroom.

Providing a broad and balanced curriculum is important for every school, and by allowing pupils to learn through music and song it helps them develop a whole host of skills, and encourages them to engage creatively with curriculum subjects and topics. It also supports whole-school well-being. Delivering subjects through a new, imaginative format really can bring them to life, achieving amazing improvements in learning and overall results in the classroom.

So how has Out of the Ark Music become the leading provider of songs for primary schools in the UK with nearly 20,000 schools using our songs? It's because we provide you with exactly the singing inspiration and supporting resources you want and in the format that is best suited to your needs, whether that is a Book and Audio CD or through our online Words on Screen™ Player which makes teaching and learning songs so much simpler, and enables you to keep all your Out of the Ark Music resources in one place!

The choice is endless! Whether you're interested in a selection of songs for choirs, assembly plans for a seasonal/PSHE topic in collective worship, singable and engaging songs for your Easter assembly or church service, or you want sing-along stories or an easy-to-rehearse nativity, or a musical with some spectacular songs and dances... look no further. Browse our website and if you need some assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Services Team on + 44 208 481 7200 - they will be happy to help you.
