Your Playful Journey
Play in Education has been set up to help connect you with other like minded educators, provide research and information about playful pedagogy and continue to campaign for schools and academies to be more playful.
The pledge to play shows every member's commitment to recognising children’s right to play.
The playful schools map helps to find playful schools and academies that you might like to connect with!
Research and evidence ensures members improve their practice and pedagogy.
Our Story
The National Play in Education Group is a collective of passionate educators, researchers, and advocates working together to champion the role of play across all phases of education.
Formed to connect and amplify the voices of those leading change, we are committed to embedding play as a powerful, research-informed approach to learning building upon the early years throughout primary school and beyond.
We hope you will join our community! Rooted in diverse perspectives but united by a shared vision, our mission is simple: to ensure play and childhood sit at the heart of every child’s school experience.
