Application
Aurora for Education
What if your students could step inside a stem cell during a science lesson, explore Shakespeare’s settings in full 360°, or find calm in a soothing sensory space when emotions run high? With Aurora, this isn’t just possible, it’s happening in schools across the UK every single day.
We work with educators to design transformative learning environments that inspire curiosity, support wellbeing and make education more inclusive for everyone.
Designed for Your Pupils. Tailored to Your School.
No two schools are the same, and that’s why every Aurora immersive classroom or sensory space is entirely bespoke, created to suit your space, your curriculum and your learners’ needs. Our solutions combine:
- Immersive projection with interactive visuals, lighting, sound, and tactile features
- Multi-sensory effects including scent, wind, and vibration for a truly engaging experience
- Accessibility-first, inclusive design that supports users of all abilities
- Simple, intuitive operation via our exclusive Aurora Console app
How Educators Make an Impact with Aurora
Epinay School, South Tyneside
A specialist school supporting pupils with autism and additional learning needs, Epinay, uses their Aurora immersive classroom to build confidence, reduce anxiety and bring subjects to life. With wind machines, scent delivery, interactive floor projections and more, students now experience lessons in a way that truly sticks.
"It’s been fabulous working with Aurora. You’ve provided the ideal room for our children."
– Chris Rue, Headteacher
Fitzalan High School, Cardiff
As part of a £64 million school redevelopment, Fitzalan High School introduced a 7x8m Aurora & Igloo Vision immersive room that brings lessons to life through student-led 360° storytelling. The innovative space has even hosted an immersive session for the Prince and Princess of Wales.
"Being in the room and experiencing it just makes things more memorable, more understandable."
– Mrs Kemp, Assistant Headteacher
Hunningley Primary Academy, Barnsley
Looking to improve writing and engagement, Hunningley created a forest-themed immersive environment to inspire Year 6 students’ work on Macbeth. It’s since supported Ofsted’s ‘Outstanding’ rating and continues to drive high-impact literacy and SEN interventions.
"This room has had the biggest impact we’ve seen so far. The quality of writing is so much better, and it broadens their understanding of concepts that are quite hard to understand."
– Miss Hughes, Assistant Principal
Why It Works
Immersive environments don’t just look impressive, they deliver real results. Research shows that students retain up to 75% more when learning through multi-sensory experiences compared to traditional methods.[1]
The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) reports that social and emotional learning strategies, like those supported by immersive spaces, can lead to +4 months’ additional progress per year.[2]
For students with SEND, organisations such as nasen confirm that sensory rooms are invaluable in reducing stress, supporting emotional regulation and encouraging focus.[3]
