About Aurora Hedgeway School

Aurora Hedgeway School Welcome to our Special Needs School in Pilning, Gloucestershire

At Aurora Hedgeway, we offer every student the chance to explore and fulfil their own unique potential. With provision running from Key Stage 2 all the way through to post-16, we are set up to support children and young people at every stage of their academic journey.

Our broad and balanced curriculum is designed by ‘stage’ rather than ‘age’, allowing each student to learn alongside others with similar skills and abilities, while our focus on social and emotional support helps our students to develop both confidence and independence. By the time they leave us, our students are ready to tackle the next challenges of adulthood – whether that’s through further education, training or employment.

We look forward to welcoming you into our school community soon.
