We are excited to have started our OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) journey!

OPAL is an award-winning, mentor-supported programme that helps schools transform playtimes. It is the only initiative of its kind that has been independently proven to sustainably improve the quality of play in British primary schools.

At Lethbridge, we aim for everyone to flourish throughout their time with us. We believe a positive play experience enhances a child’s emotional, mental, and physical well-being - and is a vital part of school life. We are at the very beginning of transforming play at Lethbridge and hope that the attached documents and video below gives a sense of what we are aiming to achieve.




We will be updating you about developments, asking for your opinions and inviting you to meetings - do join us!

Please keep supporting our Friends of Lethbridge who do an amazing job fundraising to help projects like Opal.

At school we are collecting ‘loose parts’ - please look out for letters requesting these items and information about collection points.
