Play Matters: An Update

It's been just over three years since we launched ourselves in to our Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) journey, and what an exciting and eventful three years it has been! Our practice and our spaces have undergone change with play in mind, with ambitious plans and decision-making driven by the Blue Coat pupils.

 

Strongly supporting our school values of Respect, Responsibility, Creativity and Happiness we are proud to be an OPAL Platinum school!

 

With 50 tonnes of sand, truck loads of scrap, a generous dollop of mud and a sprinkling of grants and awards, we have found a recipe for increasing choice, activity levels, creative opportunities and happiness for our pupils at play.

 

The newsletter below summarises some of our projects and ideas, and also highlights some of the exciting plans we have coming up.
