At Westgate Hill we are working towards becoming an OPAL school. We ensure that every pupil has an amazing period of high-quality play every day! We know that lots of opportunities and time to play is essential for positive mental and physical health. Our children are benefitting from having play zones, where they can be creative, imaginative and energetic. We are always looking for donations to expand our OPAL offer. If you have any dressing up clothes, scooters, soft toys or dolls/animal toys, we would love to use them in school. Many thanks.
