Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL)

At St Patrick’s, play is at the heart of childhood. We are proud to be part of the OPAL programme, which helps schools transform playtimes into rich opportunities for fun, imagination, and learning.

We believe that play is not just a break from learning — it is learning. Through play, children develop confidence, creativity, resilience, and social skills that support their wellbeing and success in school and beyond.
