Everything you need, before and after the headphones go on.
Your now>press>play subscription is far more than just an Experience. It includes over 120 immersive audio adventures and more than 500 editable follow-on resources, ready on the app. One story, then the lessons that grow from it.
Every child, all at once.
The Experiences
Each Experience is a 15 to 30 minute immersive audio adventure for the whole class. Children put on the headphones, step into the story, and become the historian, the scientist, the explorer. There are over 120 to choose from, across EYFS, KS1 and KS2. Everyone participates at the same time, in the same space.
Follow-on Resources
The Experience is the first half. The learning continues when the headphones come off. On the app, every Experience is supported with phase-appropriate, curriculum-aligned, follow-on resources designed to consolidate the learning back in the classroom. Built to embed and extend what the children have just lived through, with a strong focus on oracy and literacy. Use them whole-class, in groups, or one-to-one.

Every subject, across the curriculum
The Experiences map to the English primary curriculum. One adventure often carries several subjects at once, so a single lesson does the work of many. Anti-bullying, online safety, feelings and wellbeing, healthy living: the themes that matter to a whole school, taught in a way children remember.
Built for the
whole school
now>press>play works as a whole-school approach, not a bolt-on. It suits mixed classes, mixed abilities, and the child who finds the printed page hard. Audio removes that barrier, so the same rich content is open to everyone. It is inclusive practice built into an ordinary lesson.
Resources that support your Ofsted priorities
The same Experiences that fill your timetable also do quiet, everyday work on two areas Ofsted now looks at:
• Inclusion. Audio removes the barrier of the printed page, so every child takes part in the same lesson.
• Enrichment. Over 120 immersive adventures bring the wider curriculum to life, from history to wellbeing.
