About Grange Town Primary School
Grangetown Primary School became an award winning platinum OPAL school in October 2023, following 18 months of total investment in developing their school grounds and upskilling staff. Described as a game changer, playtimes went from being problematic and boring to a hive of adventure and fun. This transformation resulted in happier children, more relaxed staff and, ultimately, more learning time. It was a win for all. The school continues to develop its wonderful grounds and sees play as an integral part to Grangetown's ethos and offer.
Please note this event is for schools considering starting the OPAL programme only, not current OPAL schools
