Advert

At Cobham Primary School, we believe in the joy of childhood and playtimes are a critical part of our school curriculum. We implemented Outdoor Play and Learning approaches in early 2025 and the children enjoy a great range of play activities, including tree-climbing, den-building, small world and drama town. Our active child play leaders from Years 5 and 6 are wonderful supports to our younger children.

We are now seeking a play leader to join us each lunch time (12.15-13.15, Monday- Friday during term time) to support this wonderful part of our school day.

The role requires active engagement with children and enthusiasm for their imaginative, creative and active play. We provide safeguarding and first aid training to all play leaders.
