School Play Philosophy

Together, we foster belonging, create opportunities and empower everyone to thrive.

Play is the fundamental way that children enjoy their childhood. It is essential to their quality of life. Children, regardless of age, culture, ethnicity, social or economic background, need and want to play. Through playing and having fun, children are developing their abilities and imagination, exploring their creativity, expressing their curiosity and learning about themselves, other people and the world around them.

Staff at Eddystone Primary School understand that play is an important and developmentally effective way for children to approach learning.
