Empowering Teachers to Embed Learning Through Play with Confidence
At Longworth Education, we are a team of experienced teachers passionate about supporting educators to implement high-quality, evidence-based learning through play. We understand the pressures teachers face—and we’re here to walk alongside you.
A Social Enterprise, Created by Teachers for Teachers
Longworth Education was founded to create practical, research-informed tools and professional learning that support teachers to strengthen their practice—without adding to their workload.
As a social enterprise, every aspect of our work is designed to improve outcomes for children by supporting the people who teach them.
Teacher wellbeing and sustainable practice sit at the heart of what we do
We build professional confidence through coaching, mentoring, and tools like the P-BLOT
We believe learning through play is essential, not optional

Our Commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Respect for Indigenous Peoples
We honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi and uphold its principles in our work. We recognise and respect the mana, knowledge, and enduring connection of tangata whenua to the land, and extend this respect to Indigenous peoples in all countries where we work.
Our approach is grounded in partnership, protection, and participation—and we are committed to ongoing reflection and learning.
