Teaching assistant raises over £20,000 for Sensory Nook at Northstead CP School in Scarborough
Northstead Community Primary School in Scarborough is celebrating the incredible efforts of teaching assistant Tracy Squire, who has successfully fundraised over £20,000 to provide a state-of-the-art sensory nook for its pupils.
Tracy’s fundraising campaign received overwhelming support from local businesses in Scarborough, alongside a significant contribution from local charity shop SALT and the national children’s charity, The Wooden Spoon. The funds raised will go towards creating a dedicated sensory space designed to support children with additional needs, providing a calming and engaging environment to aid their learning and well-being.
The sensory nook will feature interactive lighting, tactile panels, and comfortable seating, creating a safe space where children can regulate their emotions and enhance their sensory development. The initiative aligns with the school’s commitment to inclusive education, ensuring that all pupils, regardless of their needs, can thrive in a supportive setting.
