The National Autistic Society's Cullum Centres help students on the autism spectrum get the support they need to thrive in a mainstream school setting. The centres will provide specialist support from trained staff, such as learning in small groups and therapies, and a calm setting to retreat to.
We have been providing specialist autism education for more than 50 years, so no one understands autism better than we do. We have developed our education offer into a diverse network of independent and free schools, and programmes which are relied upon by hundreds of people across the UK.
