Ponteland High School Celebrates Fourth Consecutive Music Mark Award

November 9th, 2026

We are delighted to announce that Ponteland High School has once again been recognised as a Music Mark School for the fourth consecutive year. This year, we are particularly proud to have received the Ambition and Quality recognition, the highest category of the Music Mark award, reflecting our continued commitment to excellence in music education.

Music Mark is a national organisation dedicated to championing high-quality music education and ensuring that all young people have access to meaningful musical opportunities. Its recognition celebrates schools that demonstrate ambition, quality and a strong commitment to music, both within the curriculum and through wider enrichment activities.

Ponteland High School was nominated in recognition of the breadth and quality of its musical provision, from classroom teaching and instrumental tuition to our thriving ensembles, concerts and community partnerships. Over the past year, students have continued to benefit from a wide range of opportunities to perform, develop their musical skills and work alongside professional musicians.

Achieving Music Mark recognition for a fourth consecutive year, particularly at its highest level, is a fantastic achievement and reflects the enthusiasm and dedication of our students, staff and visiting instrumental teachers, alongside the continued support of the wider school community. We are extremely proud to be a Music Mark School and look forward to building on this success, ensuring that music continues to flourish at Ponteland High School.
