Our Facilities

Aurora Boveridge College sits in 16 acres of listed gardens within a wider 50-acre campus, located near the village of Cranborne in the Dorset countryside.

Within the college buildings, students enjoy access to well-equipped classrooms, spacious communal rooms and a pastoral hub, as well as vocational areas including a digital studio, science lab and art and design base. Our extensive grounds include horticulture learning areas with large glasshouses, as well as motor vehicle workshops, an animal care unit and excellent sports facilities.

We also make use of local amenities including a cinema, theatre and leisure centre with a swimming pool, all located within a short drive from the college. Bournemouth, Poole and Salisbury are only 40 minutes away by car, with many leisure facilities on offer from the beach to shopping centres, restaurants and the beautiful historic Jurassic Coast. The market towns of Wimborne and Ringwood are approximately 14 miles away.

Our residential accommodation is both homely and welcoming. Each accommodation area comprises 7 or 8 individual bedrooms, some of which are en-suite, with communal areas for socialising. Shared laundry and cooking facilities are available.
