Aurora Eccles School
Special needs catered for
Eccles School is an independent day school providing specialist education for students aged 7 to 16 who have found learning difficult in other mainstream school environments.
This may be a result of specific learning difficulties with dyslexia, through to those with more complex communication and social interaction difficulties associated with Asperger’s Syndrome and high functioning autism.
Support services provided
Aurora Eccles School offers the perfect learning environment for each student’s needs to be met so they can develop and achieve their full potential, ready when they leave to go on to further education, training or employment.
Specialist teaching, together with small class sizes and a nurturing approach enables students to work at a level and pace that’s right for them to achieve their goals. Focus is given to building self-esteem and confidence by implementing strategies to support students’ individual needs to engage in education, as well as developing their social and independence skills.
There are many opportunities to join a variety of extra-curricular activities including sports and societies, the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and trips.
