How Future Innovators Are Reimagining Sensory Spaces – 2025 Enterprise Challenge Recap

Melissa Holling • June 30, 2025

The Primary School Enterprise Challenge 2025 Finals

Overview of the Metrodome venue with the stage set up and all the pupils attending the event.
Recently, we once again celebrated young entrepreneurs from across South Yorkshire at the Primary School Enterprise Challenge 2025 Finals. After sponsoring the event last year, we were thrilled to get even more involved this time around—our MD Kevin Wheatley and Design Team Manager Brendon Markham both joined the judging panel to help decide the winners.

The Challenge

Working in teams, the task was to design a new inclusive Sensory Nook for their school based on four exciting themes: outer space, the jungle, the beach and underwater.


While working on the challenge and developing their ideas, the children built real-world skills such as:

Problem solving – using a costing sheet to stick to a budget

Creativity – designing the Sensory Nook plus a matching team logo

Leadership – sharing ideas and guiding the team

Presentation – pitching their ideas and design to the panel of judges

Students using their skills to design their Sensory Nooks

The Finals Event

The event was even bigger and better than last year! We brought along two of our Sensory Nooks and our portable Sensory Igloo for the children to explore, and there was lots more to do:


There were loads of fun activities throughout the day, including:

  • Nerf challenge and archery
  • A magician and a stilt walker
  • A blind football challenge with Olympic-style sound balls
  • A photobooth to capture fun memories
  • A surprise visit from Bluey!
  • Sensory Nook Escape

The Winners

There were lots of awards given out for different categories, but the overall winners were team Mission Impossible from Willow Primary School with their incredible jungle themed design.

This team wowed the judging panel with their outstanding creativity, attention to detail, and teamwork.

The Prize

The winning team will soon see their creation brought to life with a life size version of their Sensory Nook design installed at their school! Seeing their creativity come to life will continue to inspire the young entrepreneurs through their school journey and beyond.

Until Next Year...

What a fantastic day! We're proud to support a challenge that encourages creativity, inclusivity, and innovation in young minds. We’re already looking forward to what next year’s teams will dream up!
