At our school, we believe that play is not just a fun activity, it is a fundamental part of a child’s learning journey. That’s why we are proud to embrace OPAL play, an award-winning program that transforms our playgrounds into vibrant spaces for exploration, imagination, and development.

4KM enjoyed learning about VE Day today. We talked about the significance of the day and how the nation celebrated together 80 years ago. The children had lots of questions to ask and stories about their relatives to tell each other.

What a splashing day in Nursery. What better way to cool off than paddling and having fun in the water 💦☀️😎.
