As 2024 draws to a close, we at Commercial Play look back on what has been an impactful year. With changes that were hard to face, we took our time to form partnerships to bring transformative experiences with schools and organisations across the country, this year has taught us a lot, about how important collaboration is and how strong we are as a team.
A Year of Collaboration and Growth
Throughout 2024, our mission remained clear: to bring innovative, engaging, and play-based programs to schools that empower students to thrive. This year, we were proud to work with schools across the UK, building strong relationships and witnessing first-hand the transformative power of play in learning.
Some standout collaborations included:
Elmhurst School, we introduced interactive programs that combined physical activity with creativity, resulting in increased student engagement and confidence.
Gad’s Hill : Here, we delivered an outdoor learning program where play met nature, helping students develop teamwork, communication, and leadership skills.
Fielding Primary: Our installation of a dynamic play area transformed their outdoor space, encouraging imaginative play and enhancing physical activity among students.
The Impact: More Than Just Play
2024 proved how play can go far beyond the surface. It fosters emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and physical well-being. Our hands-on programs helped:
• Boost outdoor classroom participation
• Improve physical health and coordination
• Promote problem-solving and resilience
• Support teachers with tools for active learning
Feedback from teachers and students has been positive. Seeing students light up with excitement while learning through play reminds us why we do what we do.
Looking Forward to 2025
As we step into 2025, our focus will be on reaching even more schools and organisations; expanding the scope of what play-based learning can achieve. We have exciting plans ahead:
• New Programs: We’re developing fresh ideas and activities tailored to enhance key curriculum areas through play.
• Wider Reach: Our goal is to partner with 100+ schools, including more commercial organisations.
• Teacher Empowerment: We aim to equip educators with the skills to integrate active play seamlessly into their outdoor classrooms.
We believe that every school and every student deserves the opportunity to learn in a way that is both fun and impactful. Play isn’t just a break from learning—it’s how learning comes alive.
