OPAL Donations

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for the incredibly positive feedback following our recent transition evening. It was lovely to hear how excited so many of you are about our upcoming OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) launch after the summer holidays.
Lots of parents have already been asking about donations and offering to bring in items! To make things easier, we’ll be placing clearly labelled donation boxes on both playgrounds (KS1 and KS2) starting next week. If your donation doesn’t fit inside the box, feel free to place it neatly beside.
We truly are so grateful for your generosity and enthusiasm. Your support means the world and will help us create something truly amazing for the children—a play environment that sparks creativity, confidence, and joy.
If you’re having a sort out at home, here’s a list of the types of items we’re currently looking for:Sand & Water Play
• Buckets, spades, sieves, funnels
Small World Figures

Warm regards,
Kera Chaney
