OPAL Play

At Weaver Primary School, the ethos of OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) is all about making playtime joyful, inclusive, and meaningful for every child. We believe that play is essential for children’s happiness, health, and development, and OPAL helps us create a safe, creative environment where everyone can join in, explore, and grow. Whether building dens, discovering nature, or inventing new games with friends, children are encouraged to use their imagination, take positive risks, and develop important life skills such as teamwork, resilience, and problem-solving.

The wonderful contribution of resources from parents, carers, and the wider community has been a vital part of this journey, helping us to create a rich and exciting play environment for all. Together, we ensure that play is valued as a vital part of school life, helping children to flourish and make lasting memories every day.
