Welcome from the Headteacher

Welcome to our website! Manchester Secondary PRU is an established Pupil Referral Unit which serves the City of Manchester and works in partnership with the Local Authority and Manchester’s High Schools to promote the Manchester Inclusion Strategy and provide high quality education for all of our pupils.

We continue to strive for excellence in our work and to provide a continuous and holistic education system to support young people with complex needs by:

Leading a creative and high quality curriculum;

Promoting inclusion for some of Manchester’s most vulnerable young people;

Developing a nurturing and safe environment for all pupils across a number of settings.

At Manchester Secondary PRU, we have the highest aspirations and ambitions for our pupils. We offer a broad curriculum based on the National Curriculum and offer the same level of qualifications as a mainstream school. Our academic curriculum is supplemented by a variety of rich experiences that provide our pupils with the opportunity to develop the ‘skills for life’ needed to be happy and successful adults. Our experienced staff team are experts in supporting our pupils to address their emotional and behavioural barriers to learning and to successfully prepare them for the next stage of their education.

Across our 5 core learning centres, our 3 centres which operate in partnership with the Manchester College and our 3 partner Alternative Providers, we have staff who care deeply about our pupils and aim to tailor our educational offer to give them the best chance to succeed.

We hope you enjoy exploring our website and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
