At The Observatory School, we are always looking for ways to support our pupils’ sensory and emotional regulation needs, and our weekly visits to Sensory Shack have been a fantastic resource for pupils at Vyner Campus.

Sensory Shack is a specially designed space that provides a safe and engaging environment for pupils who benefit from sensory input. The sessions help pupils to relax, explore, and regulate their emotions through a range of activities tailored to their needs.

During their visits, pupils enjoy:
???? The ball pool – perfect for deep pressure and sensory exploration.
???? Tunnels and climbing equipment – great for movement and coordination.
???? Drums and sound activities – encouraging rhythm and self-expression.
???? Interactive lights and projections – creating a calming atmosphere.
???? Cuddles with guinea pigs – providing comfort and emotional connection.

These sessions have had a hugely positive impact, helping pupils feel more settled, improving focus in lessons, and providing a space where they can regulate their emotions in a way that works for them.

A huge thank you to Sensory Shack for providing such a wonderful experience every week!
