About Lingey House Primary School
A platinum OPAL award recognises the quality of a schools play provision, and what an outstanding play offer is available to all children at Lingey House. A giant sandpit, a mini woodland, the opportunity to dig, build dens, be creative, swing, slide and climb. Children have freedom and choice – they can explore the extensive grounds or find a cosy corner and just chill. Come and visit this wonderfully rich play environment and hear form the headteacher and curricular lead for play about their OPAL journey and what a difference it has made to so many key areas across school.
Additional information
A large car park in front of school is free to use and there is on-street parking if needed.
