We would like to sincerely thank The Lentonbrook Foundation who have supported our Friends of Langer School Association in creating the Lentonbrook Sensory Room, a dedicated space that will help children with additional support needs to thrive.

The new sensory room provides a calm, structured and responsive environment designed to support emotional regulation, behaviour, communication and learning outcomes, helping children to engage more confidently with learning in a way that works for them.

Headteacher, Jo Morgan-Soane, said: “The Lentonbrook Sensory Room has made an incredible difference to our pupils’ engagement with school and their day-to-day lives. It enables staff to develop individual sensory profiles, ensuring that every child receives support tailored to their needs.

“We cannot thank the Lentonbrook Foundation enough for its generous donation. Their support has helped create a truly exceptional environment that will have a lasting positive impact on our pupils for years to come.”

Rachel Wallace, Hub Lead at Langer Primary Academy, added: “This is far from a typical sensory room – it is an outstanding facility that has quickly become a favourite space for our children. They absolutely love it and the levels of engagement we are seeing are remarkable.”

The sensory room was officially opened by Mark Ashton, Founder of the Lentonbrook Foundation and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ipswich Town.

Mr Ashton said: “We’re proud to support the Friends of Langer School Association in the creation of the Lentonbrook Foundation Sensory Room for children with additional support needs. Having been to the school and met the staff and children, it’s clear how important this sensory room will be.
