Staff have commented on the difference the space has made to young people at the school: "H is a student who uses symbols to communicate... he had consistently indicated a desire to go outside and use the spaces as a preferred activity... and R, who is an autistic student, can often be seen in the space at lunchtime quietly siting. Staff have been able to allow him more freedom in the safe environment we have built together."
Students with Severe Learning Difficulties have enjoyed the practical approach to working, particularly with the musical stimulus.
