We are an OPAL PLATINUM school!

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded a Platinum OPAL Quality Award for outstanding playtimes. The Platinum Award is the highest level awarded to schools that excel in promoting outdoor play and have fully embraced the OPAL ethos.

The difference that OPAL has made to the children’s play is enormous. The children tell us that they are happier, more sociable and they are certainly developing their resilience. As a result of the freedom and responsibility that comes with OPAL playtime, behavioural incidents have reduced and children return to the classroom ready to learn.  OPAL has not only improved the opportunities and experiences at lunch times, it has also had an impact on the children’s creativity, stamina and confidence within the classroom.
