Outdoor Play and Learning (Opal)

Outdoor Play & Learning (OPAL) 

 

We are proud to be a Platinum OPAL School!

 

We are delighted to be accredited as an OPAL school - gaining an incredible Platinum award! 

This is the highest award possible, which now puts us in the top 2% of schools in England for our play provision. 

 

Through OPAL we have transformed lunchtimes to give our children richer, more creative and active experiences every day. We are seeing the children developing their problem-solving, confidence, resilience and imagination all while they are exploring, discovering and playing! 

Ask your child what their favourite thing is to do at lunchtime. 

Will it be the mixing and stirring in the potion station? Riding on the 3 seater bikes? Sailing away in our pirate ship? Rolling the tyres? Stacking the crates? Cooking in the messy cafe? Or perhaps making a den?

So many options!

It's not just the children who have fun! Twice a year parents, siblings & grandparents are invited to join their children for a 'Stay & Play' session.
