Accommodation:

Aurora Foxes has a range of accommodation in prime locations around the safe community of Minehead. Each student has a fully furnished room, as part of a comfortable, caring and happy home.

Each house has a different level of staffing, supervised by a highly experienced Team Leader and Deputy Team Leader.

There is a wide range of accommodation to meet individual needs including bed sits, small houses, large houses and independent flats.

The students are carefully placed in accommodation dependent on their ability and a robust risk assessment process.

As they make progress through their course, extending and developing their life skills, there is an opportunity for them to move to accommodation which is semi-supported to encourage further independence.

By year three students can be living in a small group in one of our independent flats where they have to do as much as possible for themselves; getting themselves up, washing, dressing, getting to the Hotel independently, shopping, cooking and cleaning their own house.

Just like any young person in further education
