Welcome to OPAL

What is OPAL?

Outdoor Play and Learning is a programme that aims to provide opportunities for children to improve physical activity, socialisation, cooperation, coordination, resilience, creativity, imagination and enjoyment through improved play. 

Why have we adopted OPAL?

OPAL is based on the idea that, as well as learning through good teaching, your children also learn when they play. As 20% of their time in school is playtime, we want to make sure that this amount of time (equivalent to 1.4 years of primary school) is as good as possible.
