About this event

School Activities • Dinner

Play makes up 20% of children's primary school life. How do schools plan for this 20%? What are the roles of the play team?

This event is helpful for current OPAL schools to connect with a platinum OPAL school, get questions answered and take on new and exciting ideas.

Agenda

12pm–1:15pm Playtime observation

Come and see a platinum OPAL playtime in action – ask the children about how they manage risk and the grown-ups about the changes they have seen.

1:15pm–2:45pm OPAL networking

Discuss your journey with other OPAL school colleagues – share your successes, top tips and ways to overcome some of the challenges.

About Cockington Primary School

Cockington is a large primary school with limited grounds, mostly tarmac. Since the start of their OPAL journey during the global pandemic, the school has undergone many changes, and it is a mark of their tenacity and commitment that they finally achieved a very well-deserved OPAL Platinum Award in July 2024.
