What is a therapeutic Classroom?

A therapeutic classroom is a room that has been purposefully designed to put the children’s mental health and wellbeing needs at the core. Everything in the room has been specifically chosen to ensure that the space is trauma informed, attachment aware and inclusive.

Our Promises

    Our rooms are informed by neuroscience, trauma and attachment theory and with inclusivity in mind. We want every child to flourish.

  • People matter

    People matter to us and so we aim to work with as many small businesses as we can. Especially those who are aligned with our ethos and values.

  • Feedback is heard

    This is a new approach and we are always listening to feedback and suggestions. We are committed to adapting, enhancing and evolving all the time.

Crafted with kindness

When we set out to redefine classrooms, we wanted to make sure our choices were as thoughtful as our designs. Honouring both people and planet.

Our chairs are made using vegan leather and *FSC wood and most of our tables are handmade, *FSC certified and built to order. We reduce the use of plastic as much as possible, using eco friendly materials instead.

*FSC wood is responsibly sourced to ensure that biological diversity is protected and that forest management benefits local people. FSC wood helps sustain economic viability.

FSC-certified forests must meet rigorous standards that support the environment, society and economy.

Testimonials

“I know for a fact that there is a huge impact on wellbeing- just for the fact they are in the classrooms! Parents gave feedback on the children’s transitions recently, they are saying the kids can’t wait to come to school! Before they were not accessing any learning. But they are all sat around the table doing phonics, So, we are all excited! I can’t thank you enough! It has been incredible. I am so glad I called you. I have no before and after evidence but I do have a huge amount of experience in the field and have opened other provisions before, even with small classrooms and it hasn’t been like this!

It has been such a privilege to do this with you. they are all going full-time – these kids have not done a full day in years. They are all saying I can’t wait to come back.

School Founder and Head Teacher - Light Years Special School

Portsmouth

We had such an overwhelmingly positive reaction from pupils, parents and staff that we then decided to refurbish our KS2 classrooms in this manner. Our children say that the refurbished classrooms are comfortable and enable them to concentrate more. Staff say they have more connection with the children as those at the back are seated at higher tables so have direct eye contact with the teacher and are not obscured by pupils in front. The children say the rooms have a ‘family’ feel and they can concentrate better.They enjoy the flexible seating approach and often choose to lie on the floor or sit on the floor with a lap tray in front of them at which they work. Others stand or sit at the high tables. There is a noticeable improvement in concentration on work activities for children with ADHD. It can look very strange and different when visitors are in school but they all remark on how quiet and focused the children are.

“I like this classroom because it feels like home, I feel safer”

Child

“When I sat on the chair. You could actually sit back and write, instead of leaning forward to write. Then, it doesn’t hurt your back when you try and move”

Child

I have never seen the children this calm!
