OPAL Success - Holy Family gain Platinum Award!

In September 2022 Holy Family embarked on an exciting journey to embed the OPAL (Outdoor play and learning) initiative across our school.

This Wednesday the school took part in a final audit and we are thrilled to announce that Holy Family received the ‘Platinum Award’! Not only is this the highest award we can achieve, we are also the first OPAL accredited school in Swindon.

This award recognises that Holy Family’s outdoor play provision is not only some of the best in Swindon, but some of the best in the country bring huge benefits to pupil’s physical and mental health.

We are so incredibly proud of all of the staff, children, governors and families who have made this possible and a special thank you to the OPAL team Mrs Woodfield, Mrs Coates, Mrs Struve, Mrs Dunn our parent champion and Mrs McGrogan our governor.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support.
