Aurora Vincent House School As part of our growth strategy, we are really pleased to be opening a brand new SEND Secondary School in 2025 in the heart of Horsham, West Sussex for young autistic people aged 11-16.

We provide a calm, safe and nurturing environment for our equally mixed cohort of girls and boys. The Role: This HLTA role is focused on delivering Literacy support and interventions across the school.
