St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School transforms unused spaces into sanctuary for wellbeing

St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, part of Holy Family Catholic Multi Academy Trust, has proudly unveiled two innovative spaces designed to support children with additional needs and promote wellbeing.
Spearheaded by Mrs Maria Langan, the school’s dedicated emotional literacy support assistant (ELSA), alongside several teaching assistants and the school’s special educational needs coordinator (SENCO), Mrs Clare Dyas-Ward, the project has transformed areas of the school into a vibrant sensory corridor and a welcoming wellbeing room, named the Rainbow Room.
Mrs Clare Dyas-Ward added: “Much of what we’ve done so far has been self-funded and we’re calling on local businesses and the wider community to help us bring this vision fully to life.”
Headteacher of St Joseph’s RC Primary School, Mr Alex Turner, said: “We are incredibly proud of the dedication and creativity shown by our team in bringing this vision to life.
“The sensory corridor and the Rainbow Room are more than just spaces; they are a testament to our commitment to ensuring every child feels supported, valued, and cared for. This project highlights the power of community and the impact we can have when we work together for the wellbeing of our children.”
