Sports activities

Lift Plumberow have signed up to this fantastic initiative and are currently working with a play mentor for the next eighteen months to improve our outdoor provision at play times. We have created a play policy and are currently training our team of playworkers. We have been fundraising and asking for donations of resources to build up our school stock. Look out for further information in the Plumberow Post.

Here is the OPAL vision:

At OPAL we have seen just how much of an impact improving play can make to a school. We are not just talking about playtimes being a bit less bother or about children being a bit happier. We are talking about cultural transformation. When you address a need that is so fundamental to the physical and mental wellbeing of children as play, and you do it well, it is impossible to think of how you ran a school and didn’t do this.

Our vision is that every child in every school has an amazing hour of high quality play every day – with no exceptions. If one child is not enjoying playtimes, then things still need improving.

We want every school to plan for, resource and evaluate the quality of their play provision as if it were an important human right, essential to all aspects of children’s development and a source of joy and happiness that every child can access because it is all of these things.
