Changing School Lives at Charlton School
Charlton School in the London Borough of Greenwich uses OMi technologies to engage SEND students and introduce new concepts in a safe, controlled environment.
Interactive projection supporting SEND learners through movement, communication, and immersive sensory learning
Using OMi-Vista for Rebound Therapy and Sensory Development
Staff at Charlton School use OMi-Vista in sessions including rebound therapy, where projected interactive visuals respond to pupils’ movement on a trampoline.
These activities help support balance, core strength, and motivation to move for pupils with a wide range of complex needs.
Staff Perspective
“It helps with balance and strengthens the core muscles.”
Immersive Environments that Encourage Participation
By projecting onto different surfaces and using camera-based interaction, the school creates fully immersive activities that keep students engaged.
In one sensory session, projected environments, music, and props encouraged pupils to reach, explore, and participate with greater independence.
Building Communication and Turn-Taking
Teachers observed that students learned to wait their turn, use language to request activities, and collaborate more effectively during sessions.
For groups that are usually very active, the activities created focus and patience because pupils were highly motivated to join in.
Creative Learning with OMi-Beam
Charlton also uses OMi-Beam to compose music and trigger sounds/visuals for performances.
This gave pupils more ways to express themselves through movement, sound, and visual feedback in class and extracurricular activities.
Sustained School-Wide Impact
These tools quickly became part of the school timetable, after-school clubs, and wider enrichment activity.
The school reports that OMi technologies now play an established role in daily practice and learner engagement.
