At Haydn Primary School, we are very excited to be starting our OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) journey this Spring 2025. Children spend 7 years at primary school and playtime takes up 20% of that time. Our aim is to ensure good quality play opportunities for all of our children every single day; this promoting learning, development, health and happiness.

OPAL Has Launched!

On Wednesday 5^th March, we launched our Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) ‘’new look’ lunchtimes. The sun shone and the children had the best time. There was music, roleplay, water and sand play, arts and crafts and den building to name a few of the activities on offer. We wanted to say a huge thank you to you all- children, parents and local community -for your support, donations and money raised during ‘Cheeky Tuesday’ – we simply couldn’t have done it without you! We have seen so many positives already – creativity, problem solving, children playing with a wider peer group but most importantly, having fun!
