Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL)

Do you want children to be happy, healthy and enjoy school? Do you want them to develop courage, tenacity, resilience and honesty? To be creative? To have the social skills to make friends, build teams and deal with arguments? To come back into class ready to learn? 

Do 100% of children in your school say they love playtime?

The Outdoor Play and Learning Primary Programme (OPAL) is an award-winning mentor supported school improvement programme that addresses all the areas that Primary (K - 12) schools must plan for to sustainably improve the quality of their play opportunities, both across the school day and beyond. OPAL is the only programme of its kind that has been independently proven to sustainably improve the quality of play in primary schools, embedding play into school's policies and practices. The results can be transformational in even the most challenging school environments.
