Sovereign SEN sensory paths
Sensory play equipment
is one of the great ways
children learn, helping them
discover and master their
senses of touch, sight and
hearing. As education sector
professionals, Sovereign
recognises the important
role sensory paths and
educational playground equipment can play, particularly in SEN applications, and has developed an outstanding range for nurseries and schools to create experiences that stimulate the senses. Perfect for school playgrounds, our wonderful sensory paths can be fitted in any outdoor play area and encourage children to follow them to explore different textures through an interactive and hands-on approach. Get in touch and together we can make a difference.

Employer engagement with
Wiltshire Police
Students at Fairfield Farm
College recently enjoyed a
visit from Wiltshire Police
for an exciting employer
engagement Q&A session.
PC Daniel and PCSO Alice
offered an insight into the
world of being a police officer.
Students got to hear what the role of a police officer and PCSO entails, and they were able to get answers to many of their questions they had prepared for the session. The students got to see a variety of different equipment that
the police use, as well as a police vehicle with the lights in action. Students thoroughly enjoyed their visit, and look forward to other employment engagement activities coming up in the near future.

Leading the way to online safety
Buckinghamshire Council
has led the way in developing
an innovative, interactive
resource to teach children
with SEN about online safety.
Aware of a significant gap in
the market, with EU funding,
the council worked with a
local school and colleagues
in France and Sweden to
develop the free educational
game. Players must guide Bao the panda through the jungle, facing challenges and making decisions on what he should do to stay safe. The game has achieved international acclaim having been chosen by the French government as one of the best education projects of 2021.
