Sensory room

​

Established in 2003 and funded by the National Lottery, the sensory room has been updated with new equipment in 2018. It is a safe and enclosed space for learners to explore different sensory experiences, providing them with the input they need to be in optimal state for learning and interacting. Teachers and teacher assistants use the sensory room with their learners in consultation with occupational therapists, considering each individual's unique sensory profile and tolerance for different stimuli. It can be used as a sensory 'time-away' session, a 'sensory break' between activities, or for more structured activities to allow for sensory exploration.
