Session overview
Aurora Days are specially designed sessions for groups with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities. You don’t have to be from a SEND school to access these sessions – if you feel your students' needs suit these sessions, you’re welcome to attend.
We ask that you book a maximum of around 10 students into an Aurora Day slot. This allows us to adjust our content to suit individual needs and ensures that the site isn’t too crowded for groups that need a quieter environment. On the day you visit, there will be up to one other Aurora Day group on site, but you don’t share space with them during the day.
Please note: Aurora Days have previously been held at the Royal Observatory. Due to a site regeneration project, the Aurora Day programme will be based at the National Maritime Museum in the 2026-2027 school year.
