The OPAL vision is that “every child in every school has an amazing hour of high-quality play every day.” At Stocksfield Avenue, we wholeheartedly share this vision and recognise the enormous benefits that play brings to a child’s life—supporting their physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and intellectual development.

Here at Stocksfield Avenue, we are committed to ensuring quality play opportunities are available to all our children. We believe that play is essential for nurturing well-rounded individuals. Many of our best childhood memories come from playing outdoors and exploring the world around us. OPAL gives us the chance to create those same rich, joyful experiences for your children.

OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) is all about using natural and man-made resources to inspire creativity, imagination, and collaboration during playtime. It empowers children to take the lead in their own play, building confidence and friendships while having fun.

We are currently in the early stages of our OPAL journey and are always looking for donations of suitable resources and materials. If you have anything you would like to donate to support play at Stocksfield Avenue, please get in touch with us.
