ObserveYour coach spends time in your classroom, using the Play-Based Learning Observation Tool (P-BLOT)™ to capture what's already strong in your practice — and where the next opportunities for growth sit.
In-School Support & Coaching
Side-by-side in-school support that strengthens play pedagogy, builds teacher confidence, and embeds change that lasts.
Workshops inspire. Classrooms transform.
At Longworth Education, our in-school support and coaching brings professional learning out of the staffroom and into the place where teaching actually happens. A Longworth coach works alongside you — observing, reflecting, and refining practice together — so that learning through play becomes visible, intentional, and sustainable in your context, with your learners.
No scripts. No one-size-fits-all programmes. Just practical, evidence-informed coaching designed around your school, your team, and your students.
What You Can Expect
A coach who understands the realities of busy, diverse classrooms — because our team are experienced educators, not outside consultants reading from a manual
Coaching conversations grounded in observation data, not opinion
Practical strategies you can use the same day — for planning, documentation, environment design, and balancing curriculum demands
In-school support that protects teacher wellbeing and reduces overwhelm, rather than adding to your workload
A pathway tailored to your school's context, strategic goals, and community
Who Is It For?
Individual teachers deepening their play pedagogy — whether you're just beginning or refining well-established practice.
Teaching teams and syndicates building a shared understanding of what quality learning through play looks like across classrooms.
School leaders who want professional learning with visible impact — evidence of growth that you can see in classrooms, not just hear about in meetings.
Part of a Bigger Professional Learning Picture
In-school support and coaching works hand-in-hand with our wider professional learning pathways — strengths and needs assessments, targeted workshops, and ongoing mentoring. Your coach helps you decide where to start and how to sustain momentum over time.
