We are absolutely delighted to announce that Minet Infants and nursery school has achieved OPAL Platinum Award—the highest level of accreditation within the OPAL programme. This is a remarkable and rare achievement that reflects our school’s outstanding commitment to creating a rich, inclusive, and empowering culture of outdoor play. To achieve this award has not been easy!  It recognises that as a schools we have gone above and beyond in transforming the quality of our children’s play experiences.  

This achievement could not have been possible without the vision and dedication of our headteacher, our key Leads, Mohamed and Liz and the creativity and commitment of our wonderful play team, and the energy and imagination of our pupils at Minet Infants.  

Thank you to John Mcdonnell our local MP, who came to our school today to present the platinum award and for Cath Prisk (OPAL Mentor) for joining us.

On Tuesday we had our #RRSA Ambassador Elections! As well as learning about the democratic process children were enjoying their right to: Article 12-You have the right to give your opinion, and for adults to listen and take it seriously. The voting was really close and the new Ambassadors will be announced shortly. Mrs Vallijee is very excited to work with them this year!
