The Best Outcomes for Young People Lessons from a PRU Headteacher

Aimed at all teachers, this book provides practical ways for Pupil Referral Units, Alternative Provision and mainstream schools to work in partnership to secure the best outcomes for students.  

With an increasing number of learners finding the school environment difficult for a variety of complex reasons, it focuses on ways that professionals can meet their needs with limited resources and time. Written by an experienced PRU headteacher, this book is packed with examples of good practice, detailed case studies and opportunities for reflection to help readers examine their current working practice, develop new strategies to engage with young people and adopt a range of inclusive practices to maximise the potential of pupils in their care. 

In summary The Best Outcomes for Young People:

• Promotes inclusion through partnership working 
• Recognises the value of all pupils
• Provides real-life scenarios of AP/PRU practice which can be transferred to mainstream schools
• Helps schools audit their current practice and develop a range of inclusive practices for their community
