About Us:
Teaching Personnel is thrilled to partner with a specialist Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) dedicated to transforming the lives of students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. This innovative school goes beyond traditional education, offering a nurturing and inclusive environment where students can flourish both academically and emotionally.
