Specialist Resource Provision
The Cavendish Specialist Resourced Provision for Autism (ASC)
The Cavendish is a Specialist Resource Provision at The Canterbury Primary School for children aged 4-11 years old with a primary diagnosis of Autism. The SRP is resourced to meet the additional needs of children, who without such provision, would not be able to access a mainstream curriculum

Our vision is of a high attaining and achieving academy with fully extended provision at the centre of our community and widely recognised as an example of leading practice.

- Every child is good at something
- All children walk with genius

- Every learner matters
Why Cavendish?
All of our classes are based on well-known and influential British people.
Henry Cavendish was a British natural philosopher, scientist, and an important experimental and theoretical chemist and physicist.
Cavendish is noted for his discovery of hydrogen or what he called “inflammable air”.
Some modern commentators, such as Oliver Sacks, speculated that he had Asperger syndrome. He is just one example that shows that you can achieve great things, whether that is being an amazing scientist or a caring individual. Everyone walks with genius, no matter what their need.
Who would benefit from the attending the the SRP for Autism?
- Pupils who have a primary need identified as Autism
- Pupils who can access mainstream learning for 80% of the time but who require some small group support and intervention
