About this Event
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.

About St Paul's CoE Primary School
St Paul's is a Church of England school which places its values at the centre of everything they do. The headteacher, Lindsay, joined in September 2022. The SLT feels passionate about the opportunities that should be afforded to all of their children, especially play. There are approximately 450 children on roll (from reception to year six). The school has a large loose parts shed, a large and natural sandpit, a digging area, water play, den building, tunnels, music, dressing up, arts and crafts, a beautiful sensory forest area and wheeled play area. The play team is very committed to continually improving their play offer, led by a fantastic OPAL working group – and helped by their very supportive parents and local community. The level of purposeful engagement of every child at playtime is awe-inspiring.
