Time out is always available

Did you know that we offer our very special ‘Reilly Room’, an onsite sensory room, which caters to children on the autism spectrum and available free of charge for students to access at any time during their stay.

For students who would like access to ‘The Reilly Room’ during their stay, it is accessible with a key which you may keep for the duration of your stay to use as needed. The facility is set up for use by one student/teacher at a time for the comfort and benefit of the user. An ‘occupied’ sign highlights when the room is being used so whoever is ‘settling’ will not be interrupted.
