OPAL Play

Welcome to OPAL Play – Outdoor Play and Learning

At our school, we believe play is just as important as learning in the classroom. That’s why we are proud to be part of the OPAL Play programme, which transforms playtimes into exciting, creative, and active experiences for every child.

With OPAL Play, children enjoy a wide range of opportunities to:

  • Be active – running, climbing, building, and exploring.

  • Be creative – using open-ended resources to invent games and adventures.

  • Build friendships – working together, sharing, and problem-solving.

  • Grow in confidence – developing independence, resilience, and teamwork skills.

Playtimes are happier, more inclusive, and full of fun, helping children return to class refreshed and ready to learn.

By promoting play in this way, we are giving children the freedom to explore, imagine, and thrive – both in school and beyond.
