At Abronhill Primary School, play and enquiry are important approaches to learning. We use these to create meaningful and engaging experiences where children actively explore, investigate and take increasing ownership of their learning.
Learning through play and enquiry is planned, responsive and flexible. Staff create learning experiences that balance child-led, adult-led and adult-initiated learning, supporting children to develop knowledge, skills and understanding while encouraging them to think, question and make connections.
This approach supports the development of creativity, curiosity, problem-solving and independence. It also helps children to build confidence, work collaboratively and stay motivated in their learning.
Play and enquiry-based learning is used alongside high-quality teaching to support all children to make progress.
đ Developing our approach
We are continuing to develop play and enquiry-based learning across the school, including extending this approach into the upper stages.
This is part of our ongoing work to improve learning and teaching across the school.
