We are really proud of the music provision we offer at Ravenshead and were very proud to become a Music Mark school last year. The Music Mark Schools programme celebrates and supports schools who are committed to providing a high-quality music education for their children. We were awarded this on behalf of Music Mark by Inspire who are the Nottinghamshire Music Hub.
Our children have many opportunities to perform to an audience, both inside and outside of school:
Performances within school:
- Christmas Performance - ‘Carols around the tree’ – a beautiful evening of readings, traditional carols and modern Christmas songs.
- Easter Performance – ‘The tale of three trees’ (2025)
- Summer Performance – ‘A night at the musicals’ (2025)
Performances outside of school:
- Remembrance service at Ravenshead Village Hall
- Regular performances at St. Peters Church, Ravenshead
- Carol concert at Kings Mill Hospital, Mansfield
- Outdoor concert at Joseph Whitaker School, Rainworth

Ravenshead Rocks Choir Perform Christmas Carols at Kingsmill Hospital
Our wonderful Ravenshead Rocks Choir were busy singing again last week and this time it was at Kings Mill Hospital. We took over 60 children who provided an hour of entertainment to visitors to the hospital and they were absolutely fantastic. Not only did the choir sing various Christmas carols and songs but we were treated to some wonderful solos and duets as well. Our children are so talented and it is a pleasure to share their talent with our local community.
St Peter’s Church Christmas Fayre
Our choir were invited to perform for this and did so wonderfully. The programme of singing lasted for an hour and included full choir singing songs such as Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, Jingle Bell Rock and The Twelve Days of Christmas as well as solos and duets from our talented children. It was a wonderful concert and we can’t wait for the next one!
For Remembrance Service this year, Ravenshead Rocks Choir (80 members in total) walked into the village and participated in a Remembrance Day service with members of the community and Revd. Kate. Thank you to all of the parents and carers who helped walk us down to the village hall and supported the children throughout.
World Music Day Concert
The children were absolutely AMAZING!
