The Pendlebury Centre is a pupil referral unit in Stockport, catering for children with social, emotional and mental health needs. As the only PRU in the country to be rated as “outstanding” in every one of its four Ofsted inspections, Pendlebury takes a national lead on emotional health and wellbeing.
As a National Leader of Education, I work with other authorities supporting alternative provisions and PRUs, examining what they have in place and how we can improve educational offerings for very vulnerable young people.
Unfortunately, PRUs don’t get much great press, even though proportionally there are just as many outstanding PRUs in the country as there are mainstream primary and secondary schools.
