A space to feel calm and supported

We are delighted to share our new sensory room at New College Worcester, a calm, welcoming space designed to support the wellbeing and sensory needs of our students.

This special room has been made possible thanks to the generous support of The Powell Family Foundation, The Worshipful Company of Lightmongers, and the many kind donations received in memory of former student Sophie Reilly.

The sensory room provides students with a safe place to relax, regulate, and refocus, helping them feel calm, supported, and ready to engage in learning. It is already making a real difference to daily life at NCW.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped bring this space to life.
