OPAL
(Outdoor Play and Learning)
It has long been recognised that play is fundamental to a child’s health, happiness, development and well being. Research has also shown that children spend 20% of their time in school playing. This led us to reflect upon how playtimes could be improved here at Hutton Cranswick CP School.
The OPAL vision is that “every child in every school has an amazing playtime every day” and as a school we share this vision and recognise the enormous benefits play has on a child’s life.
Our aim is for all children at our school to have the opportunity to play wherever they want, with whoever they want and have the freedom to explore and play in their own imaginative ways, experimenting, problem solving and having fun using a wide range of available resources.

Your child may come home a little messy...
All parents who responded it the survey were happy with their children coming home with muddy clothes and were not worried about minor accidents.
We are so lucky to have an incredible team of playmakers whose aim is to make playtimes exceptional every single day.
Meet the team...
