Aurora Woodlands School

Aurora Woodlands School is an independent special school located in Blackburn with Darwen, Lancashire, catering to students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). With a current enrolment of 58 pupils and a capacity of 64, the school aims to provide tailored educational experiences that meet the unique needs of each child. The school operates under the ethos of fostering positive outcomes through education and care, ensuring that students are supported in leading fulfilling, independent lives.

The admissions process at Aurora Woodlands involves close collaboration with families and local authorities to assess the specific needs of each child. Parents are encouraged to engage in the process by submitting a referral form and their child's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). Following an initial enquiry, families can expect a prompt response and are invited for an on-site assessment to better understand their child's abilities and interests.

As part of The Aurora Group, which was established in 2015, Aurora Woodlands School benefits from a network of experienced staff and specialist teams dedicated to supporting children and young people with SEND. The school prioritises a nurturing community environment, ensuring that every child receives the necessary support to thrive academically and socially.
