The magic of the theatre has been brought to the autistic young people with complex needs at Prior's Court, thanks to the Tesco Stronger Starts blue token scheme and Happy Days Children's Charity.

Happy Days Children's Charity applied to the Tesco scheme and then, thanks to Tesco shoppers, the charity was chosen as the beneficiary. Happy Days then granted the money to Prior's Court to arrange theatre visits for the young people we support.

As a result, Prior's Court young people enjoyed two visits either side of Christmas by travelling theatre companies.

The first visit on Tuesday. 17 December was by the Tall Tails theatre company whose performers put on a pantomime of The Snow Queen for the young people in our post-16 group.

And then, on Monday, 13 January, Head2Head Sensory Theatre Company paid a visit, putting on a show of Rumplestiltskin with some sensory exploration also taking place pre and post-show for the young people in our Lower School.
