Saints support school’s autism unit

Rectory Primary School (1) (640x477)

A local primary school that goes above and beyond for children with autism and learning difficulties received a visit from Saints RLFC’s Luke Thompson.

Rectory CE Primary has a dedicated autism spectrum disorder and moderate learning difficulty resource unit.

The school saw Saints proudly supporting local charity St Helens Autism Support with the one-off Magic Weekend kit, bearing a multi-coloured jigsaw motif – a key symbol for national autism awareness – in place of the red ‘V’, and invited a player to visit.

Luke came to see how much the school is doing to support pupils with autism and learning difficulties and donated a signed match-day shirt from the Magic Weekend game against Huddersfield.

The young prop spent some time with the children, taking questions and even some banter from the school’s Wigan fans. The shirt will be framed and displayed at the school once current building works are finished.
