Simon Marks opens new autism resource unit

Simon Marks Primary has opened a new Autism Resource Provision which will cater for a dozen pupils who find education in mainstream classes difficult.

The new educational unit at the Stoke Newington school includes two classrooms and a sensory room.

Headteacher Gulcan Metin Asdoyuran said the ARP - which has been named in honour of its long-serving trustee Peter Ohrenstein (pictured below) - was “a fantastic addition to Simon Marks”.

She said the school would be slowly building up to its full complement.
