Neil Coleman

Neil joined OPAL at the beginning of 2012, having previously worked as the Project Officer and organiser of the National Play Design Forum at Play England.

Neil has extensive experience gathered from supporting more than 100 schools down the eastern side of England, from the Humber to the Thames and beyond. Neil is familiar with every type of school, from small rural village gems to suburban five-form entry schools with large fields, and from PRUs to inner-city sites with tiny vertical playgrounds.

As a Senior Mentor, covering London and schools to the north and west of the M25, Neil provides technical support and quality assurance to the other Mentors working across the Southeast region whenever they need it.
