Coventry Sensory Library
On Monday 11th May, we were delighted to welcome a librarian from Coventry Library to visit our school. This visit linked closely with the launch of a community‑led project to set up a sensory library at Coventry Central Library, which aims to improve access to inclusive and sensory resources for children and families.

During the visit, the librarian introduced a range of sensory stories, allowing pupils to explore books through sound, texture and interaction. The session concluded with a nursery rhyme sing‑along, which the children thoroughly enjoyed.

This activity supported children’s rights by ensuring inclusive access to learning (Article 2), promoting their right to education through shared reading experiences (Article 28), and enabling children to enjoy stories and rhymes as part of their right to play and cultural participation (Article 31).
