Longworth Education

Longworth Education is a small, passionate consultancy focused on supporting schools who want to implement learning through play into the primary education environment. Learning through play is founded on sound research and the following principles: Learning through play is a developmental approach to a child’s learning Learning through play acknowledges that the child is in control of their own learning The teacher supports, scaffolds and gifts new knowledge using intentional teaching methods Learning occurs through a process of curiosity and inquiry, and as such cannot be segregated into isolated subject areas We believe that learning unfolds naturally as children interact with the world around them. The learner needs every opportunity to experience the outside environment The learner should be given opportunities to develop an empathy, a sense of belonging and a connection with their outside environment
