Environments for SEN

Castle Tower

Castle Tower is a purpose-built SEN school catering to pupils aged 3 to 19 with a full range of special needs. When they decided to invest in solid wood furniture and play equipment they found that the flexibility, durability, and calming natural colours of Community Playthings equipment supports their caring, inclusive approach to learning.

“The environment you create particularly for children and young people with special needs, with the difficulties that they have, is really important. We feel that with the furniture and equipment from Community Playthings the focus is very much on the child – on the child’s happiness and their ability to learn within that environment.”

— Raymond McFeeters, Principal
