Pinderfields Hospital Pupil Referral Unit (PHPRU) provides educational opportunities for children and young people between 2 and 19 years with medical needs and /or SEN in a range of settings.
PHPRU is not a typical PRU, it works with the LA to support pupils who are currently medically unfit to attend in the short term and those in hospital. However, it also has a key role to play in providing early years assessment and specialist placements for pupils with EHC plans in partnership with the LA, and is involved in future developments of the offer across the district.
This results in a multi-site approach to meeting a range of SEND needs:
• Forest Wood Centre
• Early Years Assessment Centre
• Thornes Centre
• Woodlands Centre
• Limes Centre
• Hospital and Interim Tuition
• Education support for secondary -age students at Wrenthorpe Centre
• Bespoke support to other schools and academies through service level agreements
