We are thrilled to share some wonderful news from our school community!  Over the past few weeks, The Paramount Foundation and their incredible team of Local Heroes have been hard at work creating brand new outdoor play resources for OPAL.

Working alongside the brilliant mentors from the Octopus Foundation, the Local Heroes developed new skills in carpentry, teamwork and project planning while building high‑quality, hand‑crafted play equipment that our children will enjoy for years to come.

 What They Built for Us:

• A brand‑new Mud Kitchen – perfect for messy play, creativity and imaginative cooking!
• A large Outdoor Chalkboard – encouraging drawing, writing, mark‑making, and big ideas!
• Handmade Wooden Games – promoting teamwork, problem‑solving and joyful play.

These fantastic new additions will make a huge difference to our OPAL playtimes, giving children rich opportunities to explore, create, collaborate and learn through play.

A Huge Thank You!

We are incredibly grateful to The Paramount Foundation and their Local Heroes for their generous support andThe Octopus Foundation for guiding and supporting the team as they built these amazing resources

Their combined effort has truly strengthened our outdoor play offer and brought something special to our school community.

We can’t wait to see the children using these new resources, and we’ll be sharing photos of them in action very soon!

Thank you to everyone involved for helping us make play bigger, better and more brilliant for every child.
