About us:

The Kennington Park Bridge to School is a full-time PRU & pupils attend either on a full-time or part-time basis. Pupils who attend on a part-time basis spend the remainder of their week in their mainstream placement – they are dual-registered pupils.

HOW ARE CHILDREN REFERRED TO THE PRIMARY P.R.U.?

We cater for three types of children:

  • Children who have been permanently excluded from a mainstream, or sometimes, a specialist setting.
  • Children who have not been permanently excluded & are still attending their mainstream setting but who are at risk of exclusion.
  • Children out of school for other reasons.
  • Children who have been permanently excluded

    The Pupil Placement Panel meets on a regular basis. Cases are discussed & if the Primary PRU is deemed the best placement a referral paper is sent to the PRU. Parents/carers are contacted & invited to the PRU, along with the child, for an initial informal ‘interview’.

    Children at risk of permanent exclusion

    The school makes a referral to the PRU. The school gives details of the child & the problematic behaviour displayed by that child. The child’s parents/carers have to support the school’s referral in order for the child to be admitted to the PRU on a short-term basis. The parent/carer is contacted & invited to the PRU, along with the child, for an initial interview. These are referred to as dual-registered pupils. Schools pay for this service.

    Children out of school for other reasons

    The same procedure outlined in (1) is followed.
