Our Outcomes

We are ambitious for every child and young person at Aurora.

We encourage high expectations from and for all our young people. From the moment they join us, we focus on building the skills, confidence, and resilience they need to thrive.

We see each individual as unique, guiding them toward a fulfilling, independent life — whether that means further education, employment, training, or supported living — and helping them take the next step with purpose and pride.

Pupil A's Story

Pupil A joined Aurora Poppyfield facing significant challenges with autism, ADHD, and SEMH. With tailored support and nurturing relationships, they quickly found a safe and understanding environment where they could thrive. Over time, they have developed confidence, independence, and resilience, staying engaged with their learning and looking ahead to future achievements.

Pupil B's Story

When they arrived at Aurora Boveridge in 2019, they felt like a shell of themselves. "If you saw me today, you wouldn’t think I was the same boy who joined all those years ago." In April 2022, they moved into residential, and within just a few weeks, so much had changed. They were no longer so controlled by their OCD, their mental health was improving, and they were beginning to enjoy a new quality of life.
