Ysgol Bryn Derw is a newly opened school for young people aged 4-19 all of whom have Autism along with other learning difficulties and complex needs. The school have been able to use school funds, donations and charity grants equip the classrooms with engaging and purposeful resources for the pupils to help their learning, socialisation and communication.

They now wish to equip the outdoor spaces with specialist sensory and movement equipment for the pupils – such as swings, trampolines, coloured sensory panels, tactile panels and mirrors, musical chimes and drums, mud kitchen, balance bridges and sports goals and hoops. This type of equipment is expensive but highly beneficial to the pupils. All of the pupils will benefit greatly from the exploration, movement, stimulation and engagement that the equipment will bring – this will reduce anxieties, increase confidence, encourage the pupils to share, communicate and develop their play skills.
