Pupils at Mont A L’Abbe School have celebrated the official opening of the school’s new sensory room. The room, which has been funded through a donation from the 2010 Barclays Wealth Community Awards, has been kitted out with state of the art equipment, which is designed to stimulate and motivate the youngsters. ‘The sensory room is fantastic,’ said head teacher, Sharon Eddie. ‘The bubble wall, interactive floor, cinema wall, surround sound, UV lighting, fibre optic curtain and tactile wall panels are incredibly impressive and provide an ideal space for both learning and enjoyment for our pupils.’ Paul Savery, managing director, Barclays Wealth Intermediaries and International Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man, said: ‘I am delighted that our donation is making a significant difference to the lives of the pupils at Mont A L’Abbe. It is a pleasure to see the enjoyment this room brings and it is this enjoyment that embodies our thinking behind the Barclays Wealth Community Awards.’
