The Sing Up Awards are a great way to celebrate your singing achievements! Watch our film, featuring Singing Ambassador Howard Goodall about how important the Awards are for a school's singing development.
"Through completing our Award, the profile of music and singing within the school and community has grown from strength to strength. Singing has brought our school together"
What's so great about singing?
Singing can support children's learning, helping to raise standards within your school. It also helps develop confidence in both pupils and teachers and it helps build communities. Don't forget, it's also good for you and lots of fun!
What about the Awards?
We're excited to announce that in April 2012 we will be launching a new Sing Up Awards Framework that has been redeveloped following feedback from Awards schools. The Awards criteria have been updated to make them accessible to all primary settings, showing clearer progression as well as integrating the Principles of Good Quality Vocal Leadership.
The Sing Up Awards are a great way to help map your singing journey, providing support and guidance. They are:
- Accessible – ALL schools for primary-aged children can work towards and achieve an Award. This includes SEN schools which incorporate a wider age range.
- Flexible – your school can tailor its objectives to suit your needs and circumstances
- An achievement - a Sing Up Award can help bring about longterm positive changes in your school life
For more information on our current Silver, Gold and Platinum Awards please use the orange buttons on the left.
Not a school?
If you love singing and Sing Up but you can't apply for an Award, get in touch with any schools you know and let them know about Sing Up, the Awards and the benefits of singing.

For those of you who are thinking about applying for a singup award please think no more just take the first step believe in yourself and just do it.
If you are reading these comments you will see my commment above about the difficulties I faced but singup got on board and supported us through the problems and we are now the very proud owners of our Gold Award.
The news just gets better as we have been invited as a school to pilot the new Platinum Awards framework and I am absolutely delighted to share with you all that we have passed the written application and are eagerly awaiting our assessment in school to hopefully complete the second stage. The whole process was so much easier than having to upload evidence and handwriting the form gave me a chance to portray the character and very special qualities we feel we have to apply for Platinum status and we are so looking forward to the next stage.
The support and enthusiasm from many people at singup to help us has been amazing and so very valuable and I have very much enjoyed being part of this new pilot scheme.
When I first applied for a singup award online I would have been so delighted to have got silver but on typing the information in was so surprised that we were very clearly meeting the criteria for Gold we have worked really hard over the past year to improve and hopefully very soon will hear if we can become proud recipients of Platinum.
If anyone out there would like help or advice about any part of the awards scheme I would be very willing to support you or just encourage you to give it a go.My contact details are karentrollope@gmail.com keep singing and if you apply or are waiting for results good luck !!!!!!

Hi Karen,
We’re very sorry that you’ve been encountering these difficulties in uploading your evidence for your Award. It was really useful to discuss some of these with you on the phone yesterday. As I mentioned, it sounds like it might be something to do with the way you’re accessing the internet with in your particular area and we will look into this further for you. We will be collating all feedback we’ve received about uploading evidence over the next few months to ensure that the process is as user-friendly as possible.
We’re delighted that your Award has now been submitted for endorsement and hopefully you will be able to present your Award certificate very soon so that the children are able to celebrate their wonderful achievements.

I have to say I am really dissallusioned with the award scheme sounds great on paper however trying to upload evidence to the site is an absolute nightmare as I have been trying for weeks with lots of support from our local music service took a guy who is a computer whizz over 45 minutes to upload 3 very small photos of our Headteacher singing. I work as a teaching assisstant in a specialist school for pupils with Autism and they have worked extremely hard to meet the criteria to gain this award and school staff have also given me invaluable support. We have been trying for this award for months now and have been assured by a singup verifior we have more than met criteria ( at mainstream standard ) I am now beginning to look quite silly as when people ask have you got the award yet I again have to say no not yet!!!!! The kids like me are losing faith as all they want is the certificate for their dedication and very hard work. Please could you change the method of sharing evidence it would be so much easier to have an assessor come to school and witness first hand our achievements instead of relying on technology.
Singup site is fantastic and I use it all the time but very disheartened by amount of effort and time needed to supply evidence to get award.
I am unable to get onto awards profile at home to upload evidence and so slow at school time runs out before ive done anything even a specialist service struggled !!!!!! At Beverley School we do a fantastic job in music and singing may need to seek credibility from our work elsewhere if unsuccessful with uploading. Hard evidence sent instead so watch this space !!!!!!!
