About Our School

Aurora Severnside is a specialist independent day school based in Gloucestershire Science and
Technology Park, near Berkeley, Gloucestershire. We combine the best elements of a mainstream education with the unique specialist and therapeutic input for students aged 11-16 with social, emotional and mental health needs, including those who face communication and behavioural challenges associated with Autism Spectrum Conditions.

Our vision at Aurora Severnside is to create an inclusive, welcoming learning environment in which all our students can develop and thrive. We put our students’ needs first, because we know that once we understand who they are and their individual learning styles, we can support them to achieve their full potential.

We believe that one size does not fit all – our approach to learning and teaching is to focus on the individual needs of each student. Each student has a tailored curriculum based upon their initial assessment, previous academic outcomes and long-term learning targets – the curriculum fits around the young person, not the other way around!
