PUPILS at a North Yorkshire primary school are enjoying "special time" in a new multi-purpose therapy room.
The new facility at Bishop Monkton CE school, near Ripon, has been created within the footprint of the school building by partitioning existing space.
And is already benefitting the pupils as a quiet space for interventions, small group work and one-to-one sessions such as play therapy.
Previously play therapy sessions took place in the headteacher’s office but Kebbell Homes, which is currently building a collection of 12 family homes in the village, erected the internal walls and installed a door to create the new room.
Play therapist Penn Wall said: “If the area hadn’t been created then we simply wouldn’t have been able to continue running the sessions as it was becoming impractical to occupy the head's office for a whole day."
