Our Curriculum

We offer a unique curriculum. All students study English, Maths, Science PE, Art and PHSE as part of their individualised programme, alongside more vocational options including catering, horticulture and sports coaching. The timetable also includes opportunities to participate in performing arts. Our curriculum also includes regular outdoor sessions in our onsite forest school “Highgrove” area as well as offsite outdoor education opportunities.

Regardless of the level of a young person’s starting point when they arrive at Aurora Woodlands, we support them to gain appropriate and meaningful qualifications and skills in line with their abilities and interests; we use progressive qualification pathways that mean every individual will leave us with recognised accreditations ranging from entry level through NVQ to GCSE.

As a small provision, we aim to tailor our core offer to suit the aptitudes and interests of our individual students.
