Playtime Revolution Training

Done well, play can improve health and wellbeing, motivate pupils, and return them to formal teaching time ready to learn. That’s why investing in children’s play is one of the most important things we can do to support their development.

Reimagine playtimes as a powerful part of the school day. Our Playtime Revolution training helps schools unlock the full potential of their outdoor spaces to support inclusive, engaging, and purposeful play for all ages.
