Sensory Room
We are pleased to announce that the Sensory Room was officially opened by Fred Lane - SEND Provision Evaluation Officer on Tuesday 15th September. A couple of children came along as well as members of the PTA who have kindly helped fund it. We hope that specific children with needs, who will be timetabled to use the room, will benefit in a number of ways from this amazing resource. Please contact the SENDCo, Mrs Lewis or the Pastoral Support Worker, Mrs Hoggins for further information.
