Description
Creating Excellence in Primary School Playtimes: A Complete Strategy for Fun-Filled and Beneficial Break Times School playtimes are a vital part of a child's school life, accounting for 20% of their daily experience. However, ensuring that these times are as beneficial as possible can be a challenge. This book provides a comprehensive approach to managing playtimes, drawing on the author's OPAL Primary Programme, which has successfully transformed school playtimes in numerous settings. Through before and after case studies, the book demonstrates how to address common issues such as behaviour, staffing, space, and facilities, and provides creative ideas and ready-to-use solutions to promote wellbeing and healthy child development. With a focus on sustainability and capitalising on investments in equipment and training, this book offers inspiring reading for primary school staff and play workers, and practical advice for schools seeking to meet Ofsted criteria for excellent play.
