The innovative Centre supports autistic pupils to attend a mainstream school close to home, while receiving the tailored support they need.
During the visit, she spent time chatting to staff and students, and visited their classes including art, cooking and speech and language games.

With support from the Cullum Family Trust, the centres provide specialist support that ensures pupils can maximise their potential and are prepared for their futures.
