The PRU provides full time education for pupils between 11-16 who are permanently excluded, at risk of permanent exclusion or are otherwise unable to access a mainstream curriculum.
The aim is to match provision closely to the needs of individual children and young people referred to the PRU by schools, academies or the local authority.
The PRU has provision in 5 centres across the city and commission further placements with Alternative Providers in a wide variety of settings.
All staff at the PRU are expected to be flexible about where in Manchester they are based and may be asked to work at any of our centres across the city (initially the base is likely to be in Chorlton).
