Cambois Primary School has unveiled a new sensory garden, transforming its outdoor space into an interactive, multi-sensory environment that encourages learning through play for all children.

The exciting revamp was made possible through funding and support from QTS, the company behind the £10billion Cambois Data Centre initiative.

The project brought together local contractors to design, plan and build the space – including Raintons Construction, Arcadis, Cundall, Lynx Precast, D A Johnstone, Ridge and Colpits.

These local partners dedicated over 700 hours of time developing, landscaping and building the garden, alongside QTS’ investment in materials, plants and labour to make the garden a reality.

Cambois Primary pupils, along with QTS staff members, also made the garden their own by planting shrubs and other greenery.

Rita Patel Miller, social strategy director, QTS Europe, said: “This sensory garden is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when local businesses and a school community come together to support our brilliant young people.

“We hope this space will provide years of joy, discovery and support for every child at Cambois Primary and we’re proud to have played a part in making it happen.”

Sophia Cainsworth, PFA charity member for Cambois Primary School, said: “We are absolutely delighted with our new sensory garden. The transformation of our outdoor space has been remarkable and we can already see how much the children love exploring it.

“For our pupils with sensory processing needs in particular, this garden will be a genuinely special resource.

“We are grateful to QTS and all the local contractors who gave so much of their time and expertise to make this a reality for our school community.”
