How can I use the Sparkyard music curriculum with my SEND pupils?

Here are some ways the Sparkyard Music Curriculum can be adapted to support pupils with SEND:

Music is a powerful and inclusive way for children to connect, communicate, and express themselves. The Sparkyard Music Curriculum is designed to be flexible and accessible, with multi‑sensory learning, visual resources, and engaging Out of the Ark songs used throughout to support all learners.

Key features that help with adaptation include:

• Flexible lesson structures so you can break learning into smaller steps and choose the lessons that best suit your pupils.
•  
• Downloadable visual aids, pictorial representations, and graphic scores to reinforce key concepts.
•  
• Accessibility tools in the Sparkyard player, including plain text view and word‑tracking.
•  
• Makaton and BSL signing videos for many songs from Reception to Year 6.
•  
• Multi‑sensory activities across movement, dance, art, and active listening.
