Autistic children and their families are set to benefit from a new school and community facility in our area.

The Mackenzie Thorpe Centre in South Bank opened its doors this week, welcoming its first cohort of students to the newly refurbished North East Autism Society school.

The school, which is the third of its kind for the charity in the region, was formerly known as the Cooper Centre, and will provide autism-specific education for children and young people aged 5-19.

As well as modernised classrooms, each with their own secure outdoor green space, the centre also boasts a large play yard, multi-use hall, and a student common room.
