Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL)

Play at Cookridge Holy Trinity C of E Primary School

We feel very strongly about the importance of play here at Holy Trinity. We’ve joined forces with OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning), who are supporting us through the introduction of an initiative to build and develop our play provision across the school.

Amazing play, every day, for every child

OPAL is an award-winning, mentor supported school improvement programme that addresses all the areas that schools must plan for if they want to strategically and sustainably improve the quality of their play opportunities. OPAL is the only programme of its kind that has been independently proven to sustainably improve the quality of play in British primary schools.

Resources

The school’s PTA have generously supported the project, along with ongoing support and ideas from everyone in our school community, with donations of resources and time. See below to find out more about the project and about the sort of things that we’re looking for at any given time.
