Here at Aurora Meldreth Manor, many of our students have complex learning difficulties, some associated with profound physical disabilities and/or medical needs. Their ages range between 6 – . students live within our on-site residential childrens home, with the remaining students attending on a day basis.

Whatever a student’s abilities or challenges, we aim to provide them with memorable experiences and stimulating activities that promote self-esteem and personal independence. This approach is enhanced by the imaginative use of a variety of suitable and interesting resources and environments – from the rich experiences of sound, colour and touch in the sensory room, through to energising rebound therapy and physical exercises in the hydrotherapy pool.
