In September 2025 we opened our sensory room, supported by funds from Killybegs and Ballyshannon Credit Union.
The room offers a calming and interactive space designed to support the wellbeing, learning, and development of all our pupils.
The sensory room provides a safe and welcoming environment filled with soothing lights, gentle sounds, and tactile resources that stimulate the senses. While sensory spaces are often associated with supporting children with additional needs, we are taking an inclusive approach — ensuring that every pupil can benefit from the room’s unique atmosphere.
Indeed, teachers are already noticing the benefits. Pupils who use the room as part of their daily routine are already showing improved focus, reduced anxiety, and increased confidence in learning.
The space also encourages empathy and understanding among peers, promoting an inclusive and nurturing school culture.
