PRU (Pupil Referral Unit)
If you would like to work in a PRU or Pupil Referal Unit please register today. We fill most jobs very quickly and they often don't show up on the website.
PRUs are a type of school, set up to provide education for children who cannot attend school and are often thought of as a place where badly behaved children(EBD pupils )are sent, but they can actually cater for a wide range of pupils . This may include those who cannot attend school because of medical problems, teenage mothers and pregnant schoolgirls, pupils who are school phobic or awaiting a school place. They do also provide education for pupils who have been excluded and they can be used to provide short placements for those who are at risk of exclusion.
Some PRUs cater for particular kinds of pupils but generally those with behavioural issues and other, eg pregnant schoolgirls are taught separately. For most pupils, the main focus of PRUs should be on getting them back into a school and they can provide full-time or part-time education depending on the age of the child and their reason for being in the PRU.
PRUs can offer education directly, or they can arrange packages that involve external providers such as FE colleges, employers and work-based trainers, and programmes provided by voluntary or private bodies. Often they will provide a combination of both. PRUs do not have to teach the full national curriculum but they must offer a balanced and broadly based curriculum, which should include English, mathematics, science, personal, social and health education (PSHE), ICT and, post-13, careers education and guidance.Many PRUs also work with schools to support vulnerable pupils and those at risk of exclusion. They may do this through outreach support to pupils within the schools, or by dual registration, where a pupil stays on the register of their school but is also registered with, and attends, the PRU.
