Christmas has come early for a group of severely autistic young people at Prior's Court. They received the generous gift of a tractor from Portsmouth based PMC Construction, the company who have developed Prior’s Court new Young Adult Provision. The tractor will be an essential part of the vocational programme which helps to build some independence for the young adults whose lives are severely affected by their autism.
Prior’s Court were delighted to welcome students from Brimpton Church of England Primary School for a visit on Thursday. The class 1 students, accompanied by their Teachers and Learning Support Assistants explored the woodland sculpture trail and experienced what a typical lesson in the Countryside Learning Centre is like for Prior’s Court students, all of whom have autism.
Thanks to overwhelming support, Prior’s Court School has won £60,000 from the People's Millions as part of Big Lottery Fund for a project to rebuild the stableyard, develop the fields and create a nature trail.
The win was decided by public vote and announced on the ITV Meridian West News. Thank you to everyone for voting and getting the support of family, friends, neighbours and more to phone and vote for us.
