Welcome to St Peter's School and our amazing Platinum winning OPAL!

In 2024, we started on our great Outdoor Play and Learning programme, and we are very proud to have been awarded our Platinum level award in July 2026. 

Since starting OPAL, the children have a greater variety of play, and they have developed their confidence, communication, resilience and imagination. We love playtimes at St Peter's! 

Children can eat with their friends from other classes, during our free-flow lunch times, and they decide what time they go in to eat. This helps children to become more independent thinkers and is a great way to socialise with their friends who are in other classes. 

During OPAL, children have the opportunity to play and learn through:

• Skipping 
• Chalk
• Small world
• Reading 
• Colouring
• Home corner
• Lego
• Bubbles
• Creative cafe
• Nature art
• Weaving
• Music 
• Dancing
• Litter picking
• Water
• Climbing
• Pool noodles fencing
• Golf
• Loose parts
• Tyres
• Ball games

More fun ideas are on their way!
