Pupils at a local primary are benefiting from brighter school days after Elite Competitions funded a £20K makeover of their ‘safe space’ Sunshine Room.
Children attending Charles Saer Primary School in Fleetwood now have sensory play areas, two indoor nest swings, a ball pit, quiet corners, new toys, soft flooring, a shared dining area, sofa seating around a TV and a brand new kitchen.
The revamp was much needed to help them regulate their emotions in a secure environment, and enable them to return to classrooms ready for learning throughout the rest of their school day.
Laurie Webb, a member of the school’s pastoral team said: “It's absolutely brilliant. It's just amazing. The revamp is incredible. The children couldn't believe it and most of the staff cried when they saw it.”
The reaction from children and staff when it was unveiled was beautifully priceless... take a look
