Outdoor Play and Learning

At our school, we believe that play is a vital part of every child’s development. Through the Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) programme, we are transforming our playtimes to offer richer, more imaginative, and inclusive experiences for all pupils. OPAL encourages children to be creative, active, and collaborative as they explore a variety of play opportunities in all weathers. From building dens and creating games to discovering nature and developing problem-solving skills, our outdoor spaces support learning beyond the classroom and help every child to grow in confidence, resilience, and happiness.
