OPAL – Outdoor Play and Learning

At St Clare’s School we believe that all young people have the right to good quality play and outdoor activities that makes lunch times really memorable. Being outdoors enhances learning and is fundamental for young people to thrive, be creative, develop their imagination and communication skills.

To this end, we are implementing the OPAL Programme and will adopt an ‘access all areas, in all weathers’ approach, where pupils have access to green space, varied environments and a wealth of play opportunities through a wide range of play equipment, small and large loose parts and much, much more.
