Come and join the family of OPAL schools at this regional network meeting. Whether you are just starting out or are an established OPAL school, this afternoon session will bring inspiration, ideas and the chance to network with like-minded local schools.
12pm–1pm Observation of playtime
Come and see an outstanding OPAL playtime – ask the children about how they manage risk and the grown-ups about the changes they have seen.
1pm–2:30pm OPAL networking
This is an opportunity to network and share ideas with other current OPAL schools. There will also be a presentation from an OPAL mentor.
Hetton Primary School received its OPAL Platinum Award in June 2025, following an outstanding transformation of playtimes at the school. With fire pits to canoes, tents and messy kitchens, wheeled play areas and sandpits, this is an amazing school to visit.
Tea and coffee will be available.
There is plenty of parking available in the school car park.
Only two tickets per school. If you can no longer come, please let us know so we can release your place to another school.
