The new classroom at Darley Dale Churchtown Primary School, in Church Road, is designed to help develop youngsters’ emotional wellbeing and features aromatherapy, cushions, music and games as well as twinkling lights.

Pupil Alysha Smith came up with the name ‘The Sparkle Box’ for the room, which was paid for through the school’s building fund, as well as the fundraising efforts of parents.
