Aurora Woodlands Story: Real Life in Specialist Schooling
Written By Sara Epstein
Capturing Support and Care in Specialist Education
Aurora Woodlands is an independent specialist day school in Lancashire supporting boys aged 10–19 with social, emotional, and mental health needs. My goal was to capture honest, day-to-day moments that reflect the positive relationships between students and staff with real, documentary-style photography showing care, trust, and connection. The images are now proudly used across Aurora Woodlands’ website, print, and social media, helping to show the warmth and support that define this nurturing school community.
