We are an OPAL school, providing pupils with quality play opportunities where children are supported and encouraged to play, discover and explore. OPAL is an award-winning programme that supports the school in improving play for everyone. 

Play times now continue to support children in reaching their potential, through opportunities to construct, home play, develop their physical skills and work collaboratively or independently. This positive play experience enhances the children's mental, emotional and physical wellbeing, enabling them to continue to flourish at Newington.
