Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL)
OPAL stands for Outdoor Play and Learning and is a programme endorsed and supported by Sport England.
OPAL's mission statement is "To ensure that every schoolchild has an amazing playtime every day with no exceptions."
We aim to:

This programme is a journey that we're undertaking over the next 12-18 months with OPAL, developing the playground and play of the children.

Fundraising
We would like to purchase some additional storage for our playground so we can have a larger variety of items available for the children to play with. We'll soon be launching a donation page for anyone that would like to help. Stay tuned...
