Why Aurora Ryefields School?

Aurora Ryefields School is a specialist school in Derby dedicated to providing exceptional education and support for children and young people aged 5-19 with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and/or additional social, emotional, and mental health needs.

We cater to a wide range of needs across the ASC spectrum, including students with co-occurring conditions such as sensory processing difficulties and/or additional social, emotional, and mental health needs. Our mission is to empower students to develop skills, confidence, and independence, preparing them for fulfilling lives and active participation in their communities.
