Sensory Room: Enhancing Learning for Children with Complex Needs in Merseyside

The Sensory Room, a specialist learning environment in the field of inclusive education, has opened in Merseyside with a funding boost of £12,000. This project, aimed at creating a stimulating and supportive space for children with severe and complex learning difficulties, is set to have a significant impact on the local community.

The special school, catering to children aged 2-11 with severe and complex learning difficulties, is dedicated to providing a nurturing and engaging learning environment. The addition of the sensory room will further enhance the school’s commitment to supporting children’s cognitive, emotional, and physical development.

This new sensory room, which opened in February 2024, provides a calming and interactive environment designed to help children of all abilities connect, relax, and explore in a supportive space.

This sensory room was generously funded by a Wooden Spoon Charity grant. Wooden Spoon supports the school’s dedication to creating safe and inclusive spaces that foster wellbeing and growth.
