Glenn generates some mega smiles after these children have been in the new sensory room
Kingsland Special School caters for children aged 2-11 years who have profound and multiple learning difficulties or severe/complex physical and/or learning needs. Many of the children also suffer visual or hearing impediments.
The existing sensory room was of limited scope and use, having been created using ‘spare parts’ from sensory rooms at two other Special Needs Schools which were closed in 2003. Spoon donated £15,000 towards the
Wooden Spoon Sensory Room for the total refurbishment and re-equipping required to make the room fit for purpose. It’s now an integral part of the sensory fulfilment and education curriculum considered vital for these children who are mostly at the extreme end of the physical/mental impairment spectrum. Glenn Morrison, Wakefield Trinity Wildcat’s
player, officially opened the sensory room with his son on 28th April. Children, staff, carers, governors, parents and Yorkshire Spoon members turned out in great numbers for the celebrations. The children all enjoy this unit as became evident as soon as formalities were over and the children were allowed to cross the tape and enjoy themselves!
