THE FIRST special education free school in Yorkshire for pupils with autism will open next year.
The Lighthouse School in Leeds was one eight special or alternative provision free schools across the country to be given the go-ahead this week by Ministers.
The decision marks the fulfilment of a seven-year dream for a group of parents of children with autism who have developed the plans.
The new school will be for 50 pupils between the ages of 11 and 19 with statements of special educational needs and will be based in part of a former school building in Pudsey which is now empty.
