Daily Routine
The school day at the PRU follows a similar pattern to mainstream schools. However, we recognise that a number of our pupils will have a longer journey than if they were travelling to their mainstream school and our school day reflects that. Our day starts at 8.45am and finishes at 3.00pm (except for Wednesdays which is a 2pm finish), with a mid-morning and lunch time break each day. A pupil is deemed 'late' if they arrive after 9.10am unless there has been an agreement with key adults for this timing to be different. In addition to the normal learning sessions each day, our daily routines and break times are also opportunities for learning and developing social skills as part of our approach to PSHE. Details of our curriculum can be found on the link below, and PRU staff are always happy to answer specific questions about our classroom timetable.
