Benefits
Manchester Secondary 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 for a period of time. Our 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. We see the needs of all our pupils as centring on their capacity to learn and make progress and seek to address the barriers to success that they face. We have provision in 5 centres across the city and commission further placements with Alternative Providers in a wide variety of settings including The Manchester College. 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 or college sites across the city (Newton Heath, Harpurhey, Clayton, Hulme, Longsight, Chorlton or Wythenshawe) although the nominal base for this post will be Procter Learning Centre in Hulme. Many of our pupils are vulnerable and have complex needs. We work with parents, carers and a range of agencies and stakeholders to achieve the best possible outcome for them. Having been assessed as ‘Good’ in all areas by Ofsted in January 2017, the successful applicant will join our school at an exciting time in our development; and under the direction of the head teacher, and Senior Leadership Team play an important role in driving forward our agenda for excellence.
