now>press>play enables children to experience things that are out of this world and then write about it as though it really happened to them. It allows them to stand in the shoes of the character. The staff look forward to now>press>play as much as the children do and everyone smiles throughout the whole Experience!

A member of our team will be on hand to support your journey; they can suggest some Experiences you might want to try and help with any questions or ideas you have.
The children adore now>press>play. Ask them for a FREE trial — I did, and I've never gone back.

When you’ve finished your free trial, we’ll arrange a meeting to discuss how everything went and whether you want to continue with an annual subscription to join all the other amazing schools that are part of our now>press>play community.
