OPAL
(Outdoor Play and Learning)
'I am watching the children in the playground on their lunch breaks from my bedroom window and it is amazing to see them playing with all the equipment. They are pushing each other round in crates and generally just having a blast.
It is so lovely to see this generation playing outside and using their imaginations and just being children. It does not happen enough now days with electronics and the world the way it is. It makes me very proud of the school and I just wanted to say thank you and well done!'

At Clockhouse, we want every part of the the children's day with us to be as fabulous as possible. In order to create the best experience we have teamed up with OPAL. We strongly believe that:
"Play is freely chosen, personally directed, intrinsically motivated behaviour that actively engages the child. Play can be fun or serious. Through play, children explore social, material and imaginary worlds and their relationship with them…By playing, children learn and develop as individuals, and as members of the community"
