Making Play Work in KS1
Incorporating play and playful learning beyond the Early Years
This course is aimed at those leading or working within KS1, who wish to provide a more impactful, engaging and joyful educational experience for children, by using play as a vehicle for learning.
I will draw upon insights from my work as co-founder of PressPlay, an online international learning network which explores how to embed play and playful learning throughout the age ranges.
I will focus on:
- How play can make learning more memorable and the science behind this
- The difference between free play and playful learning, why both matter and what they look like in practice.
- How to plan for and provide impactful play experiences that support curriculum content as well as 21st century skills.
- The adult role in resourcing and extending play.

About Me
33 years ago I started work as a pre-school assistant in Norfolk and went on to teach and lead in London schools. I worked as an early years advisor for Lewisham local authority in London and went on to strategically lead the service. I now work nationally and internationally as a trainer, conference speaker and consultant.
I’ve spent the majority of my career working with leaders and managers in schools and settings, providing them with the support and challenge needed to effectively lead and sustain improvements in play-based learning.
As well as supporting at local authority and leadership level, I spend a significant proportion of my time working directly with practitioners in schools, day-care and pre-schools. This hands-on, current experience is key to ensuring that I retain a deep understanding of the reality, challenges and rewards of working with young children and their families. My work involves sharing what I have learnt about play and the difference it can make to children’s outcomes, and helping schools and settings to ensure that children are enabled to learn in as joyful, inspiring and memorable ways as possible.
In response to Covid, I created an EYS online professional learning platform called ‘The Place to Learn’. This is a subscription-based service which provides excellent value, on demand access to my entire collection of training courses for whole teams. Specific modules or whole courses are also now available to purchase separately for both individuals and teams.
