We are the Red Kite Special Academy Friends and Family group, who work together with our school to raise money to support and develop the facilities for the school. The SEN school based in Northamptonshire has 140 pupils currently enrolled, between the ages of 4–18 years.

The children that attend have a huge range of disabilities and health issues and our wonderful teaching and support staff are simply outstanding, and really do strive to ensure that every child can reach their full potential. These can be anything from physical to cognitive impairments.

We are raising funds for an amazing piece of equipment called the Colour Scape System, which can be accessed by all children within the school regardless of their condition. The children have used this equipment before and they all thoroughly enjoyed it. All children, regardless of their disability, accessed the equipment which aids all aspects of their development. But as with most special needs equipment it comes with a very high price tag which unfortunately the school does not have the budget for. This system will help with the emotional, physical, intellectual and social development of all involved. The children go through so much in their lives, and it would simply be amazing if we could fund this for current and future children to access and use.

The equipment can be operated by touch, infra-red movement sensors and pressure sensors so it is accessible to all.

Any money left over will go towards funding other equipment and aids to better the child's time and their enjoyment whilst at school.
