Sensory suites
Sensory stimulation plays a huge part in what we do at St Piers, both in classroom teaching and school life in general.
It provides children with a relaxing yet stimulating environment – one where they have the opportunity to interact and respond in different ways.
For pupils who may be finding the classroom stressful, or need one-on-one time with one of our teachers, a sensory room often provides that essential calming influence, and gives them time build up their confidence again.
Such is the success of our sensory suites that we’ve installed them in a number of the boarding houses and in several other locations around the campus.
Therapies
Along with our sensory suites, we provide students with a range of therapies depending on their needs.
My grandson has a severe epileptic condition. He has Lennox Gaustaut syndrome and difficult to control seizures. He can have many seizures throughout day and night. He was attending a special needs school but when he became the age of 16-17 years they could not meet his medical needs or physical needs. It was discussed that he would benefit from going to Young Epilepsy. How lucky he is to go there. It is an absolute school of excellence. He does and goes places that I never thought he would do. The heads, the teachers and all professional people are there to give and help with advice, care, and the vast experience of epilepsy. He cooks, swims, canoeing, archery and lots more. He is very happy and so am I. I do not worry about him as I have every confidence in everyone at the Young Epilepsy.
