The pallets will be used to create a boundary around the sensory area as well as in chairs, benches and planters.

Rebecca Willett, the college’s Creative Arts Tutor, said: “We are very grateful for the donation of the pallets.

"Our learners will use them as material to make new things as part of our ongoing enterprise skill project.”

Rob Crossland, director at Allison Homes, which is building homes at Abbey Park, near the college, said: “We were delighted to be able to assist the college with their sensory area project.”
