OPAL

 

Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) Primary Programme is an award-winning mentor-supported school improvement programme, addressing all the areas schools must plan for if they want to strategically and sustainably improve the quality of their play opportunities.

OPAL is the only programme of its kind that has been independently proven to sustainably improve the quality of play in British primary schools.

It's success comes from a series of interrelated actions undertaken with the specialist support from an OPAL mentor. This embeds play into school’s policies and practices and establishes clear guiding principles and strategies for initiating changes at playtimes. 

 

OPAL charter

Our Rights Respecting Steering group and the OPAL champions worked together to create a whole school OPAL charter. This is proudly displayed in our hall and referred to throughout the year.

 

Our children enjoy an extended lunchtime on Monday, Wednesday and Friday to allow for high quality play experiences.
