Hayley Peacock – Playoneering : Protecting Play Beyond Early Years

Play-based learning is often associated with early years practice – but it was never designed to stop there. In this session, Hayley Peacock explores how Playoneering® protects and evolves playful, enquiry-led pedagogy as children move from EYFS (0-5 years) into Key Stage 1 (5-7 years) and beyond.

Drawing on lived practice from award-winning schools and settings, Hayley will unpack how meaningful learning can remain rigorous, purposeful and child-led without sacrificing curriculum expectations. She will explore how play evolves rather than disappears, how structure can be used intelligently, and how enquiry, agency and deep thinking can be sustained across the primary years.

This session is ideal for educators and leaders who want continuity, coherence and confidence in their pedagogy – ensuring children don’t lose curiosity, creativity or joy as academic demands increase.
