About Maryport Primary School
Maryport Primary school has truly transformed their playtime offer over the past couple of years. Taking advantage of their huge site, children now have access to freely choose where to play and what to do. The opportunities to play are endless, from den building, performing, small world and digging, to playing in the mud kitchen and being creative with the endless stock of loose parts. A school to definitely visit if you are based in the north west and thinking about starting the OPAL Primary Programme.
Please note this event is for schools considering starting the OPAL programme only, not current OPAL schools.
Location
Maryport Primary School, Cumbria
