Gold Award

In September 2022 we became an OPAL (Outdoor Play And Learning) school. This means we have significantly invested in our play and lunch times and provide a wide range of exciting activities and opportunities for play for all children. In September 2024 we had our final visit from Andrea, our OPAL mentor, who was incredibly impressed with the quality of our lunch time play opportunities and has awarded us with the OPAL Gold award

Stockton Healthy Schools Award
Accreditation
March 2023 - March 2026
We are one of the first primary schools in the borough to be awarded the Stockton Healthy Schools Award, The judging panel were impressed with our commitment to supporting the health and wellbeing of both adults and children. In particular, they noted: "Physical activity across school is strong and pupils have multiple opportunities to be active across the school day. The OPAL school approach allows pupils to assess risk which they can apply outside of school in order to keep themselves safe. This approach at break and lunchtimes is having a positive impact on behaviour with swifter transition back into the classroom after break times."

July 2022 - July 2025
