About the customer

Birkett House School is a co-educational special school for 240 pupils aged 4-19. Pupils have a range of learning needs, from profound and multiple learning difficulties to moderate needs. The school takes pride in postioning itself at the heart of several communities, working to give students a very bespoke pathway through their educational journey. The school has students based on 5 sites, which enables us to provide a very specialised and personal education and a range of opportunities.

The project

Aurora delivered a bespoke sensory room solution for Birkett House School, providing a calm, adaptable space where pupils can regulate themselves, develop key skills and engage with sensory experiences at their own pace. Designed to support specialist teaching, including work with young people with visual impairment, the room can be darkened to create a controlled environment where pupils and adults can operate switch-controlled lighting to introduce visual stimuli and contrast. The solution provides a versatile resource that supports sensory regulation, visual development, independence and personalised learning.
