The Beach Hut at Bomere Heath Primary School

Earlier this year the Parish Council agreed to give £450 towards the creation of a school sensory room at Bomere Heath Primary School.

Last Thursday, Lisa Holland a governor of the school invited me to come along and take a look at how the room has turned out. Once a pokey headmaster’s office, later a room filled with hard, metal filing cabinets and first aid equipment it has now been transformed into a calm, relaxing peaceful space. Complete with comfy yellow sofa, armchair, bauble lighting, cuddle ball and bubbly, fish water feature.

The children have now aptly renamed the room – The Beach Hut. It is used every day, and it’s a place children come to when they are upset or need extra one to one or simply need 10 minutes out. The impact of the room has been immediate and has improved attendance and quality of the childrens’ lives at the school.

We are delighted to have been able to help towards the creation of this room which was made possible from contributions from The Friends of the School, a church collection organised by Rev Mary-Lou Toop together with the Parish Council Donation.
