About this event

School Activities • Dinner

Did last winter get you down? What were the challenges? What have you tried and how did it go wrong? What will you do differently this year?

Enjoy this chance to meet with OPAL colleagues from different schools in your area. Commiserate with each other on your past failures, get inspired for the winter ahead, and discover the playful wonder of this often damp and dismal time of year. Suitable for anyone working in any capacity in an OPAL school in and around North Devon.

Agenda

This isn’t a formal agenda with set timings, it’s about coming together for a good conversation.

  • A chance to be open and honest about the challenges and frustrations of the OPAL Primary Programme through winter.
  • A space to share ideas and playful inspiration.
  • A relaxed, face-to-face chat where schools can swap stories, support each other, and discover fresh perspectives.
  • Time to connect and network with others who truly understand the journey you’re on.

Think of it as a friendly gathering rather than a meeting a chance to talk, listen, and leave with new energy and encouragement.
