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 very first day they walk through our doors, we’re building foundations for their last day.

We see each person as an individual, who will move on to lead a fulfilling, independent life of their choosing. Whether that is further education, employment, training or supported living.
