Aurora Woodlands School
Welcome to our Special Educational Needs School in Lancashire
Here at Aurora Woodlands, our staff work compassionately and with dedication every day to provide the best possible experience for every young person in our care.
We understand that the path you have travelled before arriving with us may have been difficult; mainstream education may not have been a good fit for your child and your relationship with school to date may not always have felt positive. At Aurora Woodlands, we have the skills, facilities and expertise to provide you with a different, better experience.
We work closely with families and carers to ensure that every student is happy, safe and fulfilling their unique potential – at school and beyond. By the time they leave Woodlands, your child can confidently look forward to a bright, exciting and independent future.
I am very proud of our school and look forward to welcoming you into the Woodlands family.
Sarah Gregory
Principal of Aurora Woodlands and Aurora Brooklands
