Priorswood Primary School are supporting the National Autistic Society's' first Autism Awareness Week.

The event takes place from March 14 to 18, where the children have been learning about autism in fun, imaginative lessons, assemblies and activities.

They have also been spreading the word about why it's important to understand and accept autism.

To launch the week, the pupils turned the school pink and purple on Monday March 14 by adding accessories to their school uniform to match the National Autistic Society's logo.
