The Cullum Centre Specialist Resourced Provision
The Cullum Centre
The Cullum Centre is a specialist resource provision (SRP) at The Canterbury Primary School for children aged 4-11 years old with a primary diagnosis of Autism. The provision was built in collaboration with The Cullum Family Trust and The National Autistic Society and is the first of its kind in the UK. It is designed to meet the additional needs of children who without such provision would not be able to access a mainstream curriculum.
As part of the collaborative work with The National Autistic Society, the Centre will provide specialist support allowing students to stay in mainstream education.
- The Centre will be part of the National Autistic Society supported strategy, receiving regular autism-specific training.
- The school will work towards Autism Accreditation.
- The Cullum Centre is included in the network of Cullum Centres enabling ongoing support for the staff and Heads of Centres.
- The school will benefit from the support of an experienced Specialist Autism Education Consultant.
