Our Work
Kilrane National School – Wexford, Ireland
Mainstream primary school supporting a diverse group of students, including children with additional needs.
Challenge:
No dedicated sensory facility for calming or regulation, leading to overstimulation and behaviour challenges. Existing equipment was outdated and staff needed a turnkey solution that didn’t create extra admin.
Our Solution:
We delivered a bespoke activity-focused sensory room with a raised play platform, bubble tube mount, wall and floor padding, tactile boards, and calming colour palette. Included full training, staff handbook, and session plans for daily use.
Results:
✅ Safe, structured sensory space for regulation & inclusion
✅ Modern, durable, wipe-clean installation
✅ Room ready before term start, with excellent staff feedback
✅ Increased independence and smoother classroom transitions
Principal Feedback:
“The first meeting was clear, informative, and showed a great vision for our school. The team were professional, courteous, and worked incredibly hard to deliver before term started — even working late into the weekend.”
