Summerlea Community Primary School in Rustington has created a sensory room to help better meet the needs of one of its pupils within its mainstream setting.

Ollie Sealby, in Year 5 at the school in Windsor Drive, has autistic spectrum condition and sensory needs.

Thanks was given to all involved as a ribbon was cut by Ollie to declare the room officially open.

Helen Morris, head teacher and SENDCo, hosted the small but special opening ceremony of the Sealby Space last week.

She said: “The great thing about the sensory room (which we have named the Sealby Space after Ollie) is that not only will it really benefit Ollie but also other children with sensory needs, too.”

Ollie’s parents said they were thrilled with the room and the difference it will make to Ollie.

They added: “We can’t thank everyone enough and it’s amazing how so many people have contributed. We love the idea of his legacy living on after he leaves the school at the end of Year 6.”

Ollie was equally pleased with the space-themed room, which has a plaque with his name on inside.
