CHILDREN now have a special room to help them escape the demands of primary school life.

A carefully designed sensory room has been set up at Meeching Valley Primary School in Newhaven, and is already proving popular with pupils.

It contains items including a large multicoloured bubble tube and different coloured sensory lights which aim to create a calm and relaxing environment.

The aim is to help promote the emotional wellbeing of students at the school in Valley Road, which can help them get the most out of lessons and the whole school experience.
