Sensory Trail & Special Needs Centre
All the students who come to the Centre, whether they have a physical or learning disability, make a difference to the future of the Centre - because it’s the students who are creating the environment, deciding what it will look like and how it will be enjoyed by future visitors.
Originally the Centre was a ‘brown field’ site, now it is a thriving smallholding, which has been entirely designed and landscaped by the students and staff with poultry, pigs, goats and gardens full of flowers and vegetables. One of the most exciting areas that you can enjoy is the Sensory Trail. With its disabled access, it is a delight of colour and aroma with tactile plants and sculptures to be explored.
