When a pupil is having difficulties in a mainstream school and might be (or has been) permanently excluded they may be referred to the Pupil Referral Unit or PRU for short.
The PRU is a school. We teach the same National Curriculum and offer the same level of qualifications as a mainstream school. However, as well as the academic work we help pupils address their emotional and behavioural barriers to learning. We work with pupils “one to one” or in small groups to address their individual needs.
Students are based in in centres with around 16 pupils. These centres are spread throughout the city and work with only one key stage level of learning
Each centre has experienced teachers and support staff who work with other professionals and services to provide a wrap round service to help your child develop and meet their specific needs. For example, our centre staff are qualified youth workers trained to deal specifically with the issues being a teenager brings.
Our vision is to create a just world free from poverty. We’re doing this by funding and investing in amazing organisations across the UK and around the world. We fund a huge variety of organisations, each one working to tackle the key issues of our time.

Manchester is a young, vibrant city. Over 40% of the population is under 35. Manchester is booming and yet 1 in 3 children live in poverty and austerity measures have impacted heavily on Youth and Play provision across the city. In an era of cutbacks, Young Manchester aims to provide children and young people in communities across the city with increased opportunities in all aspects of their life by commissioning projects that respond to their ever-changing needs.
